Community Member Group 

 Knowledge of how to protect themselves from traffickers increased among the 

community members compared with the baseline survey where they mentioned only a 

few measures. Inquiring about strangers in the village, negotiating carefully for the 

proposal of a daughter s marriage, not to trust strangers, not to eat food given by 

strangers, not to accept gif ts, get better informed about the person offering jobs, not to 

trust people immediately, interact openly and frankly with daughters, not to discriminate 

against their daughters and not to send daughters with strangers were some of the 

preventive measures of trafficking attempts mentioned by the community groups.
