Within the framework of the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3 – «Good Health and Well-being» and SDG 5 – «Gender Equality»), an event was held at the «Mother’s Home» for students of the Sociology and Social Work programs of the Department of Sociology and Social Work, Faculty of Philosophy and Political Science.

The event was organized by Doctor of Sociological Sciences, Associate Professor N.U. Shedenova.

During the visit to Mother’s House – a resource center providing support to women with children in difficult life situations – students not only familiarized themselves with the organization’s activities and key areas of work, but also gained insight into real-life cases of its residents. This allowed them to develop a deeper understanding of the specifics of social assistance and the challenges faced by women. The students were able to communicate directly with the center’s beneficiaries and hear their stories. The analysis of specific cases clearly demonstrated the support mechanisms used by professionals in practice. This experience helped students develop professional competencies and better understand the significance of working in crisis situations.

The meeting also included a productive discussion, during which students asked questions, exchanged views, and analyzed current approaches to the social protection of motherhood and childhood.

The outcome of the field visit was not only a deepening of theoretical knowledge, but also the development of an empathetic perspective on their future profession. Students noted the importance of supporting vulnerable groups and the significance of implementing gender equality principles in everyday social work practice.
