Reducing Vulnerability to Human Trafficking: An Experimental Intervention Using Anti-Trafficking Campaigns to Change Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs, and Practices in Nepal

This report presents findings from a randomized controlled trial that studies the effects of mass media awareness campaigns on norms and behaviors related to a person’s vulnerability to human trafficking in Nepal. It aims to address whether such campaigns can be employed to induce shifts in knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices (KABP) that could reduce human trafficking vulnerability. Funding for this project was provided by the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) at Stanford University, the Hoover Institute at Stanford University, Humanity United, the Institute of International Education (IIE), Terre des Hommes (TDH), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID),United States Department of Labor (DOL), and Vanderbilt University.
