Similar to the baseline survey, a large majority (80%) of respondents mentioned strangers 

as traffickers. Possible traffickers included relatives (45% in the endline survey vs. 19% 

in baseline survey). Neighbours (32% vs. 15%) and husbands (11% vs. 7%) increased in 

the endline survey as well (Table 3.7.3).

Community Member Group 

Unlike the response in the baseline survey, where members of all four CMGs said that 

any woman in the community could be a possible trafficker, the groups in the endline 

survey mentioned a variety of people who could be possible traffickers in the community.

Knowledge of Ways to Protect Themselves from Traffickers within the 

Village  

Adolescent Group 

In the endline survey, all (176) respondents were confident that they could protect 

themselves from traffickers within the village. Whereas, in the baseline survey about 

three quarters (72%) said they could, 18% could not and 10% percent did not know. 

Compared with the baseline survey responses, where the adolescents had cited various 

responses to protect themselves from traffickers, in the endline survey a high majority 

(82%) of the respondents cited not trusting strangers as a means of protecting themselves 

(Table 3.8.1).
