4.3 Knowledge of Punishment for Traffickers 

Adolescent Group  

The law states a punishment of imprisonment for 10 20 years for traffickers who 

completed the process of selling the girl and imprisonment for 5 10 years for traffickers 

who had not yet sold the girl but were in the process of doing so. 

Compared with the baseline, where nearly half (48%) of the adolescents knew about the 

punishment for traffickers, it was interesting to find that all (100%) the adolescents 

expressed in the endline survey that they knew about the punishment for traffickers. It 

was encouraging to find that as compared with the baseline responses where only 19% of 

the adolescents cited the duration of punishment for traffickers who already sold the girl 

as 10 20 years imprisonment, a higher percentage (75%) of the respondents in the endline 

survey cited this time frame. 

Similarly, there was an increase in knowledge in the endline survey (38%) compared with 

the baseline survey (15%) regarding the duration of the punishment for the trafficker who 

had not yet sold the girl but was in the process of doing so (i.e. 5 10 years imprisonment) 

(Table 4.3.1).
