Evaluating The Awareness Of Women’ Rights In Public Sector Universities
2018
This study investigates the awareness of women rights among female teachers and students of different public sector universities. The aim of the study is to compare the importance of awareness regarding their rights between highly educated and less educated women. The results of this study indicate that women have insignificant awareness about women rights and laws on the whole. However, the findings highlight that victims, advocates, researchers, human rights defenders and other social activists have sufficient knowledge about women rights and legislation. Major causes of unawareness are negligence of legal rights and laws, unfavorable attitude of the society towards legal support of legislation and lack of media coverage. Moreover, this study implies that public sector universities, NGOs and civil society should organize awareness programs and run more massive awareness campaigns at university level.
