U izvještaju organizacije "Human Rights Watch" pod naslovom: On te voli, on te tuče: nasilje u porodici u Turskoj i pristup zaštiti, zaključuje se da je "zbog neprovedbe propisa od strane policije, tužilaca, sudaca i drugih zvaničnika sistem zaštite u najmanju ruku nepredvidljiv, a ponekad čak i opasan."
A Human Rights Watch report entitled, He Loves You, He Beats You: Family Violence in Turkey and Access to Protection, concludes that "implementation failures by police, prosecutors, judges, and other officials make the protection system unpredictable at best, and at times downright dangerous."
