Community Member Group 

All four groups were aware of the legal aspects of trafficking of girls.  

4.2 Knowledge of Legal Process for Trafficking of Girls  

4.2a Procedural Aspects of Filing and Reporting Cases on Trafficking of Girls 

Adolescent Group 

Compared with the baseline survey where more than half (51%) of the respondents were 

unaware of the legal process to follow in case of trafficking, it was encouraging to find 

that all (176) the respondents in the endline survey said that they knew about the legal 

process in case of trafficking. 

The majority (90%) of the respondents cited `police' rather than `district court' as the 

location for filing the case. Though the knowledge regarding location for filing the case 

increased from 2% in the baseline survey to 9% in the endline survey, it was evident from 

the findings that the majority of the adolescents still lacked knowledge regarding the  site 

for filing the case  and needed to be further educated (Table 4.2a.1).
