Unlike the peer and adolescent groups, almost all (93%) the respondents said that no one 

from their family, relatives or neighbours had gone out of the village and lost contact 

(Table 3.4.3).

Knowledge of Signs Indicative of Trafficking  

Adolescent Group 

All the adolescents (176) knew about signs indicative of trafficking in the endline survey, 

a vast improvement compared with the baseline survey where only 63% of adolescents 

knew these signs.  

Compared with the baseline survey responses, a higher percentage of the adolescent girls 

in the endline survey were able to cite different signs of trafficking. Among the different 

signs indicative of trafficking, the commonly cited responses were offering gifts or 

jewelry unnecessarily (75% in endline survey vs. 17% in baseline survey), offering jobs 

with attractive salaries in cities (70% in endline survey vs. 56% in baseline survey), 

someone persistently following (70% in endline survey vs. 11% in baseline survey), 

sympathizing with a problem and suggesting marriage to solve it (59% in endline survey 

vs. 30% in baseline survey), offering a trip to the city (49% endline survey vs. 17% 

baseline survey) and trying to become closer (39% in endline survey vs. 10% in baseline 

survey).  

It is obvious from the comparison of the endline survey and baseline survey that there 

was a significant increase in the knowledge of signs indicative of trafficking (Table 

3.5.1).
