Rescue of Reshma

The rescue of Reshma Begum from under the Rana Plaza rubble united the nation in rejoicing. All those involved ceaselessly in rescuing the living and retrieving the dead, deserve to be lauded. The focus now should be on Reshma and how she can be helped to overcome the trauma of the ordeal. It would be appropriate for the government to find some alternative employment for her, as she may have difficulty in returning to a similar work environment. Perhaps she could be sent to visit some garment-buying nations, as a symbol of the indomitable spirit and courage of the Bangladeshi garment workers, to persuade them to do their part in improving the conditions of our garment industry. Considering the enormous profit margins enjoyed by the buyers, surely it is not too much to expect of them to make some contribution to the welfare of those whose labour enables them to reap the profits?
