Whilst doing research into the Rana Plaza incident in Bangladesh, I found that there was a lot of resources and information available surrounding this particular topic as this event seemed to have been one of the major catalysts in the revolution towards sustainable fashion and the abolishment of forced labour. Following the collapse of the Rana Plaza, the movement #whomademyclothes began to trend on social media, this meant that whilst writing this article there were a lot of online resources and documentaries available to gather information from as it is a topic very prevalent in society today. Being able to access a variety of sources meant that information I gathered was valid and accurate and I was able to conduct more in-depth research.
However, I did find that although there was a considerable amount of online resources available, as this movement in the fashion industry is still fairly recent there were not as many books or journals containing a lot of information about the Rana Plaza case. This did prove a difficulty as this meant that there was less of a variety of resources to extract information from.
After attending the workshop on 03/12/19 aimed at improving our draft articles and strengthening our knowledge of how to use Wikipedia, I felt that it was very useful and insightful as I feel a lot more confident with writing about the Rana Plaza case in a way that would be suitable to publish on Wikipedia.
If I were to write this article again, I think it would be a good idea to interview an individual that worked closely with the Rana Plaza case; or perhaps someone involved with the work there, so that I could gain first-hand knowledge of the reality of the incident and the aftermath and consequences following.
