Rianti brought her to Amal Sehat Hospital. This incident highlighted ongoing concerns regarding the treatment of domestic workers in Hong Kong. In November 2012, Amnesty International condemned the Hong Kong and Indonesian governments for leaving women vulnerable to exploitation, restrictions on freedoms, physical and sexual violence, lack of food and long working hours. As a result of the police not investigating the claim, protests were held in Hong Kong with up to 5,000 demonstrators and various civil rights groups calling for justice for Erwiana. Hong Kong Police sent a delegation of officers to the hospital to interview Erwiana, who filed charges after a "thorough and in-depth investigation." Law Wan-tung was arrested at the Hong Kong International Airport while attempting to board a plane to Thailand. She was charged in a Kwun Tong court of grievous bodily harm, assault causing actual bodily harm, common assault, and four counts of criminal intimidation. She was found guilty of 18 out of 20 counts of abuse of Erwiana and two other helpers. On February 27, 2015, Law was sentenced to 6-years imprisonment by the District Court. She was given a parole on November 2018, after serving half the sentence (3 1/2 years in prison). In April 2014, "Time" released its 2014 edition of "100 Most Powerful People", which included Sulistyaningsih in the 'Icons' category. Along with several names issued by anti-violation activist Somaly Mam, Erwiana was cited as an "inspiration" for other migrant workers fighting against violence and discrimination. In the magazine, Mam was quoted as saying:  "Erwiana shared that she endured months of torture at the hands of her employer, a 44-year-old mother of two, who told Erwiana that her family would be killed if she did not perform her duties. Nor was Erwiana paid; when she was sent home, she had $9 in her pocket...But Erwiana could not be broken, nor could she be silenced. She spoke out against the woman, who faces charges including causing grievous bodily harm and common assault, and with the support of family Erwiana is advocating for better laws to protect others who may share her fate, placing a spotlight on the plight of a vulnerable and often invisible population. It is brave women like her who speak up for the voiceless who will create lasting change." When Erwiana heard the news, she just said that she was surprised, hoping that no more women be treated under such circumstances.
