their friends  (adolescents) capable of teaching about trafficking of girls issues to others. 
Furthermore, all the peers expressed desire to receive the training on trafficking of girls 
and IPC.  
Possession of 
 Chetana ko dora 
 was almost universal among the adolescents. Almost all 
(98%) had received the 
Dora
. However, the proportion varied among the peers and the 
parents. Nearly half (46%) of the parents and 72% of the peers had received the 
 Chetana 
ko dora 
. Almost all members who received the 
Dora
 were aware of the criteria for its 
distribution.     
    
Conclusions 
The short term project (July December 2002) entitled "The Adolescent Girls Group Anti 
Trafficking Project"
implemented
by AMK in its  nine project VDCs of Baglung was 
successful in enhancing knowledge among the adolescent girls, peers, their parents and 
community members on different aspects of trafficking of girls such as signs indicative of 
trafficking, protection measures to prevent traffickers/trafficking and communicating 
trafficking related information to others. However, the target populations still lack 
sufficient knowledge regarding the legal aspects of trafficking. The primary target 
population, that is, the adolescents benefite d immensely by the project as evident from 
the higher increase in knowledge of different trafficking issues compared with the 
secondary beneficiaries such as the peers, parents and the community members.  
One of the limitations of the comparison between the baseline survey and endline survey 
of this short term project is the variance one can find in ethnicity make up, age, and 
marriage status in the respondent groups due to the fact that respondents for the endline 
survey and baseline survey were chosen through a random sampling process.  However, a 
random sampling method was chosen for the study to limit all biases in choosing the 
respondent samples. 
One indication that the project was able to enhance communication among the 
community people regarding trafficking was the presence of 
"Chetana Ko Dora
7
"
 among 
adolescents, peers and parents. Comparatively, this was more widespread among peers 
than the parents as indicated by the fact that almost all of the peers had received the 
`dora'
 and just over one half  of the parents had possessed the 
 dora 
 at the time of the 
endline survey.  
The project has contributed towards increasing knowledge of trafficking of girls issues 
among all the beneficiaries as implied by the increased proportion of them being able to 
define trafficking of girls, cite signs indicative of trafficking, cite ways to identify 
possible traffickers and mention measures to protect girls from traffickers. They were 
also aware of the important role they could play in preventing trafficking in the 
community. The impact of training provided by AMK on trafficking of girls and IPC is 
obvious, as in the endline all the categories (adolescents, peers, parents and community 
members) communicated about trafficking of girls issues among themselves and with
