Respondents assessed human rights protection in Lithuania in various spheres: right to get fair pay for work; right to just trial; rights of pregnant women and women bringing up juveniles; right to inviolable property; ensuring of equal opportunities to men and women; right to social security; right to a proper living standard; right to get well-timed and adequate medical aid; right to get information at state and municipal institutions; right to the inviolability of private life, etc. Questions on human rights abuses experienced by the respondent, his people and acquaintances during the last year (in respect of each mentioned item) were submitted.<br> As well respondents were asked to which institutions they appealed when they rights were abused (court, police, parliament controllers; other state institutions, non-governmental organizations, institutions for protection of consumer rights) and whether these institutions provided the help. Reasons for making no complaint of abused rights were tested.<br> Respondents also answered questions focusing on sufficiency of information on human rights and opportunities to defend one's rights in Lithuania and what sources provide that information.<br> <b><i>Socio-demographic characteristics</i></b>: gender, age, education, occupation, marital status, nationality, number of family members, number of children under 16 years, monthly income per family member, place of residence.<br> <br><i>The survey data were collected at the request of the Commission for the Implementation of the National Action Plan for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in the Republic of Lithuania under the Human Rights Committee of the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania.</i>Social Sciencesaccess to health serviceschildren's rightscrime victimselderlyethnic minoritiesfreedom of speechLGBTQI+ rightsreligious freedomright to adequate living standardsright to educationright to informationright to justiceright to privacyright to propertyright to workrights of prisonerssocial securitywomen's rightsworkers' rightsEnglishLithuanian2001-11-12Gaidys, Vladas (Institute for Social Research, Lithuania)Gaidys, Vladas (Institute for Social Research, Lithuania)Baublytė, Marė (Institute for Social Research, Lithuania)Kublickienė, Lilija (Institute for Social Research, Lithuania)Sviklas, Eduardas (Institute for Social Research, Lithuania)Štreimikis, Antanas (Centre for Information Technology Implementation, Faculty of Informatics, Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania [ORCID: 0000-0002-5594-0580])Šarkutė, Ligita (Institute of Public Policy and Administration, Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania [ORCID: 0000-0002-1835-0186])Žvaliauskas, Giedrius (Institute of Public Policy and Administration, Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania [ORCID: 0000-0001-8970-0756])Burbienė, Diana (Center for Data Analysis and Archiving (DAtA), Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania [ORCID: 0000-0002-8435-090X])2008-04-172001-11-082001-11-122001-11-082001-11-12Survey dataLithuania<p>The description of the dataset (<b>metadata</b>) is freely and openly available to both registered and unregistered users of the LiDA Dataverse repository under the terms of the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" target="_blank">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0)</a>.</p> <p>LiDA processed <b>data</b> files containing a tag “Data” in their title are available to registered users of the LiDA Dataverse repository under the terms of the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0" target="_blank">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International licence (CC BY-SA 4.0)</a>.</p> <p>Files storing survey <b>questionnaires and cards</b> and containing a tag “Questionnaire(s)” in their title are available to registered users of the LiDA Dataverse repository under the terms of the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0" target="_blank">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International licence (CC BY-SA 4.0)</a>.</p> <p>Access to files storing <b>previous</b> versions of metadata and/or data, as well as files storing data processing syntax, and containing a tag “Archive” in their title, is restricted.
