Using survey research design, a total number of 1,000 women were selected. Data was collected using a self constructed questionnaire. The research instrument has a construct correlation co-efficient of 0.762. Data was analysed using t-test, bar chart, frequency counts and percentage. The result of the analyses revealed that women experience sexual abuses. A significant difference in the decision making opportunities by men and women was observed. It was recommended that women's right must be protected.
