Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Human rights violations remain a critical issue in many parts of Nigeria, including Jema’a LGA, Kaduna State. Incidents of abuse, discrimination, and unlawful practices often go unreported due to fear, stigma, or lack of awareness. Public relations (PR) serves as a vital tool in combating human rights violations by raising awareness, advocating for justice, and empowering communities to speak out. Through media campaigns, stakeholder engagement, and grassroots mobilization, PR can highlight injustices, foster dialogue, and drive policy reforms. Studies indicate that strategic PR initiatives play a significant role in promoting human rights and influencing public opinion (Okafor & Bala, 2024).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite constitutional guarantees, human rights violations persist in Jema’a LGA, often due to inadequate awareness, weak enforcement, and limited community involvement. PR has the potential to address these challenges by amplifying voices, educating citizens, and pressuring authorities to act. This study explores the effectiveness of PR in combating human rights violations in the area.
