Parent Group  

Compared with the baseline survey where nearly, two thirds (64%) of the respondents 

were aware of the legal process in case their daughters were being trafficked or if they 

were in doubt about their daughter being trafficked, almost all (98%) the respondents in 

the endline survey said that they knew about the legal process to be followed. However, 

the majority of them were not able to cite the `district court' for filing the case. A large 

majority (88%) of the respondents said that they should file the case with the `police' and 

only very few cited the legal office as the `district court' (8%) (4.2a.3).

4.2b  Knowledge of the Person Who Can Report a Cas e 

Adolescent Group 

Regarding the person who can report a case of trafficking, `anyone' can report a case of 

trafficking. It is encouraging to find that as compared with the baseline survey responses, 

a higher percentage of the adolescent girls in the endline survey were able to cite various 

groups/persons who could report a case for trafficking. The commonly cited responses 

were a family member (71% in endline survey vs. 67% in baseline survey), self (65% vs. 

24%) and friends (11% vs. 2%). Mother groups (3%) and neighbours (1%) were some 

other responses cited by the respondents in the endline survey. However, the adolescent 

groups were not able to cite `anyone' as their response (Table 4.2b.1).
