“Iranian Social Workers” Website: A Beacon for the Social Work Community in Iran
The Iranian Social Workers website stands as the most important social work media outlet in Iran and is recognized globally. Social workers worldwide who have any questions about social work in Iran turn to this platform.
At a time when no one in the field of social work in Iran was considering media, and in fact, some mocked online activities and gave no importance to media, Dr. Javad Talaschi Yekta was busy creating essential and fundamental infrastructure for social work in both Persian and English on the web. He established the best and most important internet bases, and today, the Iranian Social Workers media outlet is known as a reputable brand among various institutions and organizations in the field of social work in Iran.
There have been instances, based on precise information, where fear-mongering has been spread about this media outlet at the level of the International Federation of Social Workers. It has been portrayed that some groups of Iranian social workers are against the membership of the Social Workers Association of Iran in the International Federation of Social Workers. Furthermore, it has been depicted that the board of directors of the Social Workers Association is very democratic and reform-oriented, while groups like our media team are extremists and fundamentalists, and are a threat to international relations in social work.
This is not only untrue, but one could confidently say the opposite is the reality. It is they who oppose change and stifle criticism in its infancy. They are the ones who are against free elections within the Social Workers Association of Iran and evade these realities, not us! This is happening at a time when they are not even willing to hold electronic elections for the Social Workers Association of Iran because they know that if they take such a risk, they will no longer be in power and will certainly be replaced. They will never be able to regain their position at the head of the pyramid of the Social Workers Association of Iran.
