Abstract

The study sought to examine how insightful people living in the Birim Central Municipality are concerning human rights. The study adopted a cross-sectional descriptive design. The quantitative approach to inquiry was employed in collecting and analyzing the data obtained. Questionnaires were exclusively used to collect the data, and descriptive statistics (simple percentages) were employed in the analysis. The study revealed that the majority of respondents were only privy to the right to own property; however, they were oblivious to other essential fundamental civic rights. The study recommends that the National Labour Commission (NLC), CHRAJ, NCCE, National Information Service (NIS) and all institutions intensify publicity, promotion, education and sensitization of human rights and civil rights awareness in the municipality and perhaps beyond. The study also recommends that citizenship education be introduced into school curricula since such subject matters are likely to give young learners exposure to citizenship-related issues such as the status of participation in civic activities.
