(Part 3/3) "Until that moment, I did not realize that there was help. I did not know that there were laws that could protect me. Maybe because I was too young and it was far from the reaches of my tiny mind. The madams who came to hear my story were nice to me. The police were also very kind to me. Soon after my confession, they arrested one of my brothers. But the other one is absconding. Today, I am staying at a safe house where I am provided with everything I need. Although I miss some of my friends, I think it is good that I stay here for some time. I have learned knitting too and it helps me forget the difficult times I had to go through. I do not think of home much. There is nothing worth remembering. I do not know if I will ever go back there again."
