Background of the Study:
Public awareness campaigns are critical in fostering human rights education and promoting the understanding of citizens' rights and freedoms. In Yobe State, where issues such as insurgency, displacement, and poverty affect many residents, public awareness campaigns play a vital role in empowering individuals and communities to advocate for and protect their rights. However, the effectiveness of these campaigns in enhancing public understanding of human rights and encouraging civic participation in Yobe remains under-researched.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of public awareness campaigns on human rights in Yobe State, focusing on the extent to which such campaigns have succeeded in increasing public knowledge of human rights laws, empowering marginalized communities, and promoting societal change.
Statement of the Problem:
Despite various human rights awareness campaigns in Yobe State, there is limited evidence of their impact on the public's understanding of human rights. Many residents, particularly in rural areas, may still be unaware of their rights, leading to violations and a lack of legal recourse.
