Parent Group 

There was also an increase in knowledge among parents of punishment for traffickers in 

the endline survey compared with the baseline survey. Compared with the baseline where 

two thirds (66%) of the respondents knew about the punishment for traffickers, almost all 

(95%) the respondents in the endline survey knew about it.  

Compared with the baseline responses where only 19% of parents cited the duration of 

punishment for traffickers who already sold the girl as 10 20 years imprisonment, a 

higher percentage (77%) of them in the endline survey cited this answer. 

Similarly, there was an increase in knowledge in the endline survey (24%) compared with 

the baseline survey (11%) regarding the duration of punishment for a trafficker who had 

not yet sold the girl but was in the process of doing so (i.e. 5 10 years imprisonment) 

(Table 4.3.3).
