Noción de pobreza, desigualdad e interseccionalidad: Problemáticas abordadas en la intervención en trabajo social

This research has as its central purpose the recovery and analysis of certain theoretical and methodological contributions related to the notions of poverty, inequality, and intersectionality, understood as key issues in the field of Social Work intervention, particularly in the context of the National University of Entre Ríos, in the Republic of Argentina. These deeply interrelated categories are placed in tension to be understood not only in their structural manifestation but also in terms of their everyday impact on individuals and vulnerable communities. The study is framed within the qualitative paradigm and adopts a descriptive-bibliographic approach with a non-experimental field design. The interpretivist method was used as the main tool to address theoretical discussions, accompanied by a series of phenomenological questions that allowed for a deeper understanding of lived social experiences. The findings reveal those social problems, especially poverty and inequality, are historical and structural antecedents that shape and condition professional Social Work practice. Furthermore, intersectionality emerges as an essential category for interpreting the multiple dimensions of social exclusion, considering variables such as gender, ethnicity, age, and social class. In conclusion, this research highlights the need to approach social intervention from a critical perspective that is sensitive to the complexities of the social fabric. Recognizing the interconnections between poverty, inequality, and intersectionality makes it possible to rethink the role of Social Work as a transformative agent in contexts marked by profound social injustices.
