Abstract

While it's true that human rights violations are committed against men as well as women, their impact clearly differs depending on the sex of the victims. Studies of the subject indicate that all acts of aggression against women exhibit some characteristics or other that provides a basis for their classification as gender-based violence. 52 respondents chosen from 4 main bachelor programs in UiTM via stratified sampling technique. Towards the end, this research had identified the level of awareness on GBV, the causes of this violation and action taken to solve this problem.
