Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Photography has long been a powerful tool for documenting and exposing human rights violations, offering a visual record that can mobilize public opinion and drive social change. In Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area, Katsina State, photography plays a critical role in highlighting issues such as child labor, gender-based violence, and the plight of internally displaced persons (IDPs). According to Usman and Abubakar (2024), photographs serve as compelling evidence in human rights advocacy, bridging the gap between victims and global audiences. The visual nature of photography enables it to transcend language barriers, evoke empathy, and inspire action. However, the use of photography in documenting human rights violations in Dutsin-Ma is often limited by challenges such as lack of access to professional equipment, security concerns, and ethical considerations. This study investigates the role of photography in capturing human rights violations, focusing on its impact, challenges, and potential for advocacy in Dutsin-Ma.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite its potential to expose and address human rights violations, photography in Dutsin-Ma faces significant challenges, including limited resources, cultural sensitivities, and the risk of retaliation against photographers. These issues hinder the ability of photography to effectively document and advocate for human rights. Previous studies have largely focused on textual and legal documentation, with limited attention to the visual medium of photography (Bello & Yusuf, 2023). This study addresses this gap by examining the role of photography in capturing human rights violations in Dutsin-Ma.
