Knowledge of signs indicative of trafficking in all the three groups and the community 
members also increased immensely. Compared with the baseline survey, where more 
than one third (36%) of the adolescents, more than half (56%) of the peers and one  third 
(33%) of the parents lacked knowledge of signs indicative of trafficking, in the endline 
survey, all (100%) the adolescents and almost all (99%) peers and parents (99%) had 
knowledge of signs indicative of trafficking. 
Compared with the baseline where the majority of the respondents (all three groups and 
community members) perceived signs indicative of trafficking as someone/stranger 
offering a job with an attractive salary in cities, in the endline survey the respondents 
cited several signs indicative of trafficking. The commonly cited responses in the endline 
survey by all the groups were: offering jewelry/gifts unnecessarily, someone persistently 
following, sympathising with a  problem and trying to solve it by proposing to marry, 
trying to become closer, offering a trip to the city, and influencing by flaunting 
possessions. 
Knowledge of signs indicative of trafficking while traveling also increased in the endline 
compared with  the baseline survey. In the baseline, nearly one third (30%) of the 
adolescents and more than one fourth (27%) of the peers lacked knowledge of this issue, 
whereas in the endline survey 100% of the adolescents and almost all (99%) the peers 
had gained know ledge of signs indicative of trafficking while traveling.  
In the endline survey, the commonly cited responses were: if a train journey begins, 
insisting that the girl wear 
sindur pote

, persuading the girl to act like a sick person, 
continuously insisting that she change her dress, and maintaining distance while 
travelling. 
Unlike the baseline survey where very few respondents (one from the adolescent group 
and four from the peer group) had expressed the significance of an awareness program on 
traffickin g of girls, all the respondents (adolescents and peers) expressed its importance 
in the endline survey.  
Regarding the characteristics of traffickers, there was a remarkable increase in knowledge 
compared with the baseline among the three categories as well as among the community 
members. In the baseline survey, the majority of the respondents had limited knowledge 
of strangers as possible traffickers, whereas in the endline survey, their knowledge had 
broadened and they cited other responses for possible  traffickers. Relatives, neighbours 
and family members were the commonly cited responses by the respondents in the 
endline survey.      
Compared with the baseline survey, where not all the respondents among the three groups 
expressed that they could protect themselves from traffickers, in the endline survey all the 
adolescents and almost all (97%) the peers expressed that they could protect themselves
