KNOWLEDGE OF AWARENESS OF RIGHTS RELATED TO  

ANTI TRAFFICKING 

This chapter deals with the knowledge and awareness of different aspects of rights related 

to anti trafficking, such as awareness of the existence of the laws on trafficking, 

procedures for reporting and filing a case and statement and punishment for traffickers 

among the target audience of adolescents, peers, parents and community members.   

Furthermore, this chapter analyses the level of increased knowledge among adolescents, 

peers, parents and community members about the different aspects of rights related to 

trafficking.  

4.1 Knowledge of Legal Aspects of Trafficking of Girls 

Adolescent Group 

Compared with the baseline survey, where nearly two thirds (32%) of the respondents 

were not aware of the existence of the laws on trafficking of girls, it was interesting to 

find in the endline survey that all 176 adolescents were aware and knew about the 

existence of the law on trafficking of girls. When asked about the source of knowledge, 

the response varied compared with the baseline survey. Almost all the respondents (98% 

in the endline survey vs. 23% in baseline survey) cited AMK as the main source of 

knowledge of laws on trafficking of girls. The other cited response was radio/TV (41%) 

(Table 4.1.1).
