increased significantly in the endline survey compared with the baseline (98% in the 

endline survey vs. 66% in the baseline survey). Similarly, a significant increase in 

defining trafficking of girls as selling girls for labor was also evident from Table 3.2.1 

below (24% in baseline survey vs. 73% in the endline survey).

Peer Group 

It is obvious from Table 3.2.2 that a higher proportion of peers could define trafficking of 

girls in some way after the completion of the AGGATP. Unlike the baseline survey 

where some seven percent of respondents could not define trafficking of girls, all 

respondents were able to define trafficking of girls in the endline survey. The 

adolescents' familiarity with the definition of trafficking of girls as taking girls for sexual 

exploitation increased significantly in the endline survey compared with the baseline 

(50% in baseline survey vs. 88% in endline survey). Similarly, there were significant 

increases in defining trafficking of girls as selling girls for labor (36% in baseline survey 

vs. 64% in endline survey) and taking girls to work in the circus (3% vs.  26%) (Table 

3.2.2).
