Peer Group 

Compared with the baseline survey where more than half (56%) of the respondents were 

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

almost all (96%) of the respondents in the endline survey said that they knew about the 

legal process to use in case of trafficking. 

Similar to the adolescent groups, the peers also lacked knowledge of the legal site for 

filing the case, as the majority (90%) of the respondents cited `police' rather than the 

`district court.' There was a decrease in knowledge by the peers (5% in the endline 

survey vs. 7% in the baseline survey) about the legal office for filing the case. Hence they 

also needed to be further educated (Table 4.2a.2).
