Peer Group 

Almost all the peers (175) learned about signs of trafficking. Compared with the baseline, 

there is a significant increase in the knowledge of signs of trafficking among the peers 

(43% in baseline survey vs. 99% in endline survey).  

When compared with the baseline survey responses, a higher percentage of the peers in 

the endline survey were able to cite different signs indicating trafficking: the commonly 

cited responses were offering gifts, jewelry unnecessarily (73% in endline survey vs. 26% 

in baseline survey), offering jobs with attractive salaries in cities (64% vs. 55%), 

someone persistently following (56% vs. 10%), sympathizing with a problem and 

offering marriage to solve it (55% vs. 40%), offering a trip in the city (62% vs. 23%), and 

trying to become closer (23% vs. 6%).  

It is obvious from the above percentages (endline survey vs. baseline survey) that there 

has been a significant increase in the knowledge of signs indicative of trafficking in the 

endline survey (Table 3.5.2).
