Parent Group 

All the respondents were aware of their role in preventing traf ficking of girls. Unlike in 

the baseline survey, where the respondents had stressed their role on preventing 

trafficking of girls by advising their daughters not to trust strangers immediately (23%), 

in the endline survey, they stressed their role in preve nting trafficking of girls by not 

discriminating between daughters and sons (42%). Other commonly cited responses were 

telling their daughters not to trust strangers (28%), taking care of each daughter s 

behaviour (27%), not sending daughters away with strangers for employment (22%) and 

establishing a friendly communicative relationship with their daughters (19%) (Table
