Peer Group 

Similar to the adolescent group, compared with the baseline survey, where nearly half 

(46%) of the adolescents knew about the punishment for traffickers, it was interesting to 

find that almost all (95%) the adolescents expressed that they knew about the punishment 

for traffickers in the endline survey. It was encouraging to find that as compared with the 

baseline survey responses where only 16% of the adolescents cited the duration of 

punishment for traffickers who already sold the girl as 10 20 years imprisonment, a 

higher percentage (82%) of the respondents in the endline survey cited this time frame. 

Similarly, though in small proportion, there was an increase in knowledge in the endline 

survey (31%) compared with the baseline survey (8%) regarding the duration of 

punishment for traffickers who had not yet sold the girl but were in the process of doing 

so (i.e. 5 10 years imprisonment) (Table 4.3.2).
