In 2023, fifty years since the coup d'état in Chile were commemorated. September 1973 marks the abrupt end of the "Chilean road to socialism" and, with it, the Movement for the Reconceptualization of Chilean Social Work, ushering in the civilian-military dictatorship. To commemorate this event, the Department of Social Work at the University of Chile invited students, academics, and staff to reflect on that historical transition, to bring the memory of those who witnessed those processes to the new generations, to learn from their testimonies, both from Social Work during the final years of the Popular Unity government and from the spaces of resistance to military repression, with an important objective: to keep their voices alive, to learn from their fears, from their dreams, and to draw lessons to ensure the non-repetition of the serious human rights violations that occurred during the Chilean civilian-military dictatorship.
