Abstract
Human rights are paramount to an equitable society; however, only limited research has been conducted into the ways these rights are understood, valued, or practiced by Filipinos. The aim of this study is to determine the levels of human rights awareness, the nature of perspective surrounding human rights issues, and the manifestation of these perspectives on everyday life. Using the cross-sectional survey research design, the data on the demographic variables such as age, gender, education, socioeconomic status, and media exposure will also be assessed. Among others, specific cultural mores, historical experiences, and types of political environments that influence attitudes and behaviors regarding human rights are also targeted. By looking at these barriers to the complete realization of human rights, mainly by way of social norms, limited exposure to information, and the enforcement of human rights by the government, one can set a stage for recommendations. Implications of study findings are expected to meet demands for public-policy inputs, support advocacy efforts, and be helpful for the establishment of programs for strengthening a culture of human rights in the Philippines through education.
Keywords: Human Rights Awareness, Perceptions of Human Rights, Human Rights Practices, Filipino Society.
