This paper explores the professional ethics and humanitarian principles that guide social workers in their daily practice. Social workers play a critical role in supporting individuals and communities, often in difficult and vulnerable situations. This study highlights the ethical frameworks, codes of conduct, and humanitarian values that define social work, emphasizing the importance of integrity, respect, dignity, and social justice. The paper examines the challenges social workers face while upholding these principles, as well as the impact of ethical decision-making on the well-being of clients. By providing an overview of both the theoretical and practical aspects of professional ethics in social work, this paper aims to enhance the understanding of how social workers navigate complex moral and social issues in their work.
