Peer Group 

In the results of the baseline survey, where more than one fifth (23%) of the respondents 

were not able to identify possible traffickers, it was encouraging to find that all 

respondents (176) gained knowledge and could cite possible traffickers in the community 

in the endline survey.    

Among possible traffickers, the commonly cited responses were strangers (80% in 

endline survey vs. 68% in baseline survey), relatives (37% vs. 10%), neighbours (49% vs. 

16%) and friends (8% vs. 4%). It was obvious from the above comparative percentages 

that there had been a significant increase in the knowledge of who could be the possible 

traffickers in the community (Table 3.7.2).
