AWARENESS OF HUMAN RIGHTS AMONG STUDENTS OF HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL OF RAJASTHAN STATE.”

Human rights education seeks to provide individuals and learners with the skills necessary to effect social change, respond to the realities of society, and realize a sense of social justice for the underprivileged, marginalized, and weaker segments of society (NHRC 2007). The researcher has studied the awareness of human rights among students at higher secondary school levels in the context of Rajasthan. A population sample of 400 individuals was selected from the Jaipur district in the state of Rajasthan. It was found that there is not much difference in the awareness of human rights among men and women, because due to the impact of women's empowerment and compliance with government policies, the level of knowledge was found to be good among women. In a 1974 resolution, the UN General Assembly urged all nations to uphold the Geneva Conventions and take the necessary precautions to safeguard women and children during hostilities.
