Parent Group 

Within the parent group, almost similar responses to the baseline survey were given by 

the respondents in the endline survey regarding where to give a statement. Almost the 

same proportions of the respondents mentioned the  police  (63% in the endline vs. 65% 

in the baseline) as the place to give a statement.   

It was interesting to find that unlike the baseline where nearly half (46%) of the 

respondents lacked the knowledge of how many times a statement should be reported, a 

large majority (87%) of the respondents in the endline survey stated that a statement 

should be reported  thrice .   

Regarding the nature of a statement, almost all (99%) the respondents said that the nature 

of a statement should be the  same at all times  (Table 4.2e.3).
