Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The promotion of women’s rights remains a critical issue in advancing gender equality and empowering communities globally. In Nigeria, particularly in Zuru LGA, Kebbi State, cultural and societal barriers often undermine women’s access to education, healthcare, and political participation. Public Relations (PR) plays a transformative role in challenging stereotypes, advocating for policy changes, and fostering community dialogue around women’s rights.
PR strategies, such as social campaigns, community forums, and media advocacy, can amplify women’s voices, raise awareness about gender-based issues, and promote inclusive practices. Research indicates that well-structured PR initiatives contribute to changing societal attitudes and empowering women in patriarchal communities (Yusuf & Ibrahim, 2023). This study examines how PR strategies are utilized to promote women’s rights in Zuru LGA and evaluates their effectiveness in fostering gender equality.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite global and national efforts to promote women’s rights, progress in Zuru LGA remains slow due to entrenched cultural norms and limited advocacy. PR offers tools to bridge these gaps, but its application and impact on promoting women’s rights in the region are poorly understood. This study seeks to explore the effectiveness of PR strategies in advancing gender equality in Zuru LGA.
