Peer Group 

Compared with the baseline survey, where half (50%) of the respondents did not know 

their role in preventing trafficking of girls, almost all (172) respondents in the endline 

survey expressed that they could play a vital role in preventing the trafficking of girls.   

The respondents in the endline survey strongly emphasized their role in preventing 

trafficking of girls by teaching fellow people what they know about trafficking of girls 

(55% in endline survey vs. 8% in baseline survey) and telling friends not to trust anybody 

immediately (26% vs. 16%) (Table 3.10.2).
