社會工作者面對一個日益多元的台灣社會，必須具備多元文化觀點。多元文化理念在於了解並且尊重各種不同族群、文化、種族、性別的差異，並且消弭社會對於該不同群體的歧視與偏見。婦女是社會工作者主要的服務群體之一，女性在台灣父權結構社會受到長期的壓迫，使其不論在經濟、政治、社會參與、婚姻與家庭關係中到遭受不平等對待與系統性地排除。社會工作者不僅是解決個人與家庭的問題，必須有能力區辨社會結構與文化系統對於服務對象的壓迫與偏見。本課程期待能夠提升社工系學生的本身的性別意識，且進一步理解社會結構與文化系統對於女性群體之壓迫。課程中將介紹女性主義的流派與相關理論，使學生具備女性主義的基本理論知識。此外，透過一系列與女性相關的主題式議題，讓學生理解女性群體經驗的多元差異，對於女性議題與相關婦女福利服務及政策有進一步的瞭解，並進一步思考社會工作處遇方法與婦女服務之運用。

Facing an increasingly diverse Taiwanese society, social workers must have a multicultural perspective. The concept of multiculturalism is to understand and respect the differences of various ethnic groups, cultures, races, and genders, and to eliminate social discrimination and prejudice against these different groups. Women are one of the main service groups of social workers. Women have been oppressed for a long time in Taiwan's patriarchal society, causing them to suffer unequal treatment and systematic exclusion in economics, politics, social participation, marriage and family relationships. Social workers not only solve personal and family problems, but also must be able to identify the oppression and prejudice of social structures and cultural systems on clients. This course hopes to enhance the gender awareness of social work students and further understand the oppression of female groups by social structures and cultural systems. The course will introduce the genres and related theories of feminism to equip students with basic theoretical knowledge of feminism. In addition, through a series of thematic issues related to women, students can understand the diverse differences in the experiences of women, gain a better understanding of women's issues and related women's welfare services and policies, and further think about social work treatment methods and the use of women's services.

本課程著重於性別與婦女問題的察覺，並學習社會工作處遇方法，以及思考婦女福利服務及婦女政策等議題。

This course focuses on the awareness of gender and women's issues, learning how to deal with them in social work, and thinking about issues such as women's welfare services and women's policies.
