Knowledge of Where, How Many Times and the Nature of the Statement   

Adolescent Group 

In the case of trafficking of girls, a statement should be reported  thrice  and the nature of 

a statement should be the  same at all times.  It was interesting to find the increase in 

knowledge in all these aspects compared with the baseline survey.  

Compared with the baseline survey where 16% of the respondents  were not able to cite 

the place to give a statement, almost all (99%) of the respondents in the endline survey 

were able to cite the person/places to give a statement. The majority (70%) of the 

respondents were able to cite `police' as the place to give a statement. Other commonly 

cited responses were `district court' (22%) and `government lawyer' (7%).  

Unlike the baseline where more than one fifth (22%) of the respondents expressed that 

they did not know about how many times a statement should be reported, almost all 

(91%) the respondents in the endline survey stated that a statement should be given 

thrice.  

Regarding the nature of a statement, though it may have been in a small proportion, it 

was encouraging to see the increase in knowledge among the adolescents in the endline 

survey compared with the baseline survey, where the percentage of those stating that the 

nature of a statement should be the  same at all times  increased from 84% (baseline) to 

98% (endline) (Table 4.2e.1).
