from traffickers. Similarly, all the parents in the endline survey expressed that they could 
protect their daughters from traffickers.  
Regarding the different measures to protect one from traffickers within the village, the 
increase in knowledge was higher among the peers than the adolescents, as the peers 
cited several protection measures in the endline survey. The adolescents stressed  not 
trusting strangers  as a means for protection from traffickers, whereas the peers 
commonly cited responses such as: not eating food given by strangers, inquiring about 
why a gift was given, not accepting gifts given by strangers, not following whatever a 
friend says and consult a senior figure before making any decision.  
In the endline survey, the level of knowledge increased among the parents also. A higher 
proportion of respondents were able to cite different measures to protect their daughters 
from traffickers. Some of the measures to protect their daughters from trafficking cited by 
parents were: maintaining a friendly relationship with the daughter, not getting influenced 
by incentives where the daughter is involved,  inquiring properly about the employment 
offered to daughters, and getting proper information on a stranger proposing marriage to 
a daughter. 
  
The knowledge of the adolescents and the peers also increased regarding the knowledge 
of different measures to pr otect themselves from traffickers while traveling. In the 
baseline survey the majority of the adolescents (63%) and peers (49%) had only stated  
`not to eat food given by strangers' as a measure for protection from traffickers while 
travelling. In the endline survey,  consulting with other fellow travellers ,  telling the truth 
about the destination and relationship ,  seeking the help of fellow passengers  and 
 informing the police  were also emphasised as measures for protection from traffickers 
while traveling. 
 Sharing the knowledge they had gained on trafficking issues  with the community and 
friends,  organizing meetings and creating awareness of trafficking of girls  and  advising 
friends not to trust anybody immediately  were some of the activities they could perform 
as their role in preventing trafficking of girls. 
Regarding the legal aspects of trafficking, though the majority in all the three groups 
(adolescent, peer and parent) expressed that they knew about the legal aspects of 
trafficking, the y still lacked knowledge of where to file the case, who they could report 
the case to, the location from where one could file the case and where to give a statement. 
However, there was an increase in knowledge regarding the time frame to file a report, 
frequency of reporting the statement, nature of statement and punishment for traffickers.  
Though in small proportion, among the adolescents there was an increase in knowledge 
(9% in the endline survey vs. 2% in the baseline survey) for citing  district cour t  as the 
place for filing the case. There was a decrease in knowledge among the peers (6% in the 
endline survey vs. 8% in the baseline survey) and among the parents (8% in endline 
survey vs. 11% in baseline survey).
