Community Member Group 

All the groups mentioned that their role in preventing trafficking of girls would be by 

playing a lead role in sensitizing the community and making them aware of trafficking of 

girls. They also said that their role in preventing trafficking of girls would be to interact 

with their daughters about their problems, take complete information about the strangers 

in the village, not to marry off their daughters early and in haste, and report suspicious 

situations to the police, VDC and NGOs working for women in case a girl or girls are 

likely to be trafficked.
