Summary
La Trata Humana se posiciona entre los principales problemas sociales en el mundo. Se estima que 45 millones de personas en el mundo, principalmente mujeres y niñas, son víctimas de trata, incluyendo a Puerto Rico. Esta actividad es clasificada como una comercialmente ilícitas y muy lucrativas, generando más de 150 mil millones de dólares al año. (Rey y Hernández, 2021). Asimismo, este fenómeno es considerado un crimen difícil de detectar, invisibilizándose en frente de todos pues su operación proviene de sistemas organizados, sofisticados y con gran poder adquisitivo. Se identifica como crímenes que atentan contra los derechos humanos y la dignidad de las víctimas de trata (Rey y Hernández, 2014). Ante este panorama, deben desarrollarse estrategias de concienciación para la sociedad y la música representar una de ellas, pues puede ser identificada como un idioma universal. Se ha demostrado la creación de conexión entre las personas con los diversos factores sociales, religiosos, económicos, políticos e históricos (Gómez, 2021). Según Bisquera ( 2017), afirma que escuchar música es una forma de conciencia emocional, ya que permite el descubrimiento y conocimientos de las emociones propias.\ Partiendo de esta premisa, presentamos “Despierta Ya”, una canción de nuestra autoría, que relata la historia de un niño que pierde su vida siendo víctima de la trata humana. Su propósito será el de sensibilizar, concectar con las emociones y concienciar a la audiencia referente al tema de la trata humana en los diversos ámbitos de la vida cotidiana. Por otra parte, las personas podrán identificarse y convertirse en portadores del mensaje preventivo mediante la emoción que se evoca.

Summary
This panel uses three comparative country-level case studies from Argentina, Costa Rica, and Brazil to examine implementation of SDGs in the Latin American context. Much of the literature ignores social workers in favor of "hard" sciences and emphasizes sustainability almost to the exclusion of the social dimension. This fills these gaps by demonstrating social development and social work's role in achieving the SDGs. These case studies present a regional snapshot of social development in action.\ \ SDGs in Argentina\ \ This presentation analyzes Argentina's response to the COVID-19 pandemic pertaining to the SDGs. The pandemic strained the public sector and challenged democratic institutionality, reassessing the state's role. Policies boosting the economy were balanced with providing direct assistance to companies, workers, and citizens. This revived debates on basic income, taxation, and redistribution. We report on the SDGs in Argentina, national policies, and the challenges and trends.\ Water, SDGs, and Costa Rica\ This presentation discusses SDG6 in Costa Rica, which requires protecting water resources and providing clean water and sanitation. Facing significant environmental problems, Costa Rica uses participatory community-based environmental policy. We use the social determinants of health and human rights frameworks to analyze political and social initiatives and show how social workers have played a key role in environmental education and community work.\ \ SDGs Advocacy in Brazil\ This presentation shows how in response to the dismantling of social and environmental policies in Brazil, NGOs formed the Working Group on the 2030 Agenda to return the SDGs to the agenda. Through primary sources and oral history methods, we demonstrate how the Working Group became an advocacy coalition based on cooperation, shared beliefs, and coordinating skills and resources. This empirical presentation offers insights into the essential role of civil society in advocating for state accountability for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.\

Summary
This symposium invites the audience to learn from a diverse network of thought leaders in social work education worldwide. Innovative and collaborative initiatives emerged in response to COVID-19. The symposium will present three of them: The first is the Trauma-Informed and Culturally Responsive Framework. The second is and critical conversations (CC) model, and the last is about teaching social work in contexts of emergency.\ Presenting international evidence from international colleagues about their pandemic responses is a powerful asset for shaping social work education in the future. The overall goal of the symposium is to offer recommendations to leverage the quality of social work education both in times of crisis and in times of calm. Participants will learn about implementing various innovative approaches in social work pedagogy by presenting theory, research, and case examples.\ \

Summary
The Social Welfare Workforce Strengthening Conference, held in Cape Town, South Africa in 2010, gathered together a wide range of international organisations and government partners to launch a global movement to recognise and strengthen the social service workforce (defined as including not only professional social workers, but also other specialists, para professionals and volunteers, from both governmental and non-governmental organisations), and to develop stronger, more effective social service systems. The conference brought together teams from 18 countries to discuss and share experiences around the challenges facing the social service workforce and to develop concrete action plans to address these challenges at a national, regional and global level. The idea for a Global Social Service Workforce Alliance (the Alliance) was conceived at the conference, and the Alliance’s Framework for Strengthening the Social Service Workforce was developed to provide a range of strategies to enhance the planning, development and support of the social service workforce. It has since been reviewed, adapted and utilized around the world as the key framework to guide workforce strengthening efforts.\ \ The Alliance has since produced annual State of the Social Service Workforce Reports, and its 2023 report, 10 years after the founding of the Alliance, examined the progress that has been made since 2010 to define and strengthen the workforce. It includes a deep dive into the experience of three countries, Viet Nam, Uganda and Romania, and a review of progress globally. Based on the evidence reviewed, and inputs of a wide range of key informant and focus group participants, the report then identifies the key challenges that remain and emerging trends and opportunities in relation to strengthening the workforce. This presentation will present the main findings and conclusions of the report at both the country and global levels.\ \
