As the editors of the International Social Work Journal, another step for us to revisit the nature of social work is to examine the context for practicing social work globally. As advocated by the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW), International Council on Social Welfare (ICSW) and International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW), the four pillars of the global agenda are to promote (1) social and economic equalities, (2) the dignity and worth of peoples, (3) environmental and community sustainability and (4) human relationships (Jones and Truell, 2012). With the faith of our profession and the above global agenda, we believe that people are born to be free, equal, but different. Social workers have the mandate to connect people from different parts of the world and strive for their well-being with hope and dignity in a sustainable manner.
