Need protection by the law

Imagine you are staying in your home and every night you hear the neighbour child being beaten. The child cries and can’t defend it self. It is unbearable to listen to. You have to do something. Maybe you can call the police or some organization that help children who are being beaten or sexual abused. In most countries you will find a number you can call, and they can help. You call the police, but can’t help you. You try to find another number, but there is none.
In Lebanon it is like this. If you try the police, they will tell you that they don’t have the authority of stopping the person who abuses the child. It is no law that say this is wrong. It is no law that protect the child.
Rima wants to change this story. On Thursday she invited friends for brainstorming on this issue. This is so important to do something about. So far it doesn’t look like any organization or NGO work on this issue in Lebanon. Rima will need all the help she can get.
If any know something about how to approach this issue, what steps need to be taken for changing law or awareness on this, please let me know.
