challenge
The process of my research was fruitfull yet challenging, in terms of finding women who will be willing to talk to me on camera. All the women i talked to in Morocco refused to have their images presented on the internet, therefore I had to find my way to transmit the message about their issues in the artisanal field without having a recording of a video or audio to respect their choices.
Outcome
I was able to help the women i was in contact with to find better pay for their artisanal craft with local store in Morocco, and allowing the women to understand that their craft is very valued across the globe.
