Even those who try to make a change, who try to apply the law in their own house do not get any help from organizations or police. I talk from personal experience. I have tried for 2 months to remove a 12 years old working as a house maid under the same roof where I stay. No police helped me, no 1098 service helped me, nobody did anything. Just saying they will look into it.
