Common misinterpretations of the term feminism regard women as being superior to men and disempowering men. Feminism is generally associated with giving women power and rights they previously lacked. Even though that is factually correct, there is so much more to feminism. Feminism is a \u201cstrategic orientation towards improving gender relations\u201d(Allen &amp; Sachs, 2012). The idea surrounding feminism is to address the social norm that is set on the general public by social media about how women and men should act. It is about giving both men and women equal rights and power to pursue whatever they want without judgement.<\/p>\n<p><b>So What<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">By acknowledging this idea, we will have a better understanding of the term \u201cfeminism\u201d and appreciate the work and effort people have done in the past to create the social norm that exists today. Furthermore, understanding the movement behind feminism and how it applies to the food system helps to identify gaps between genders that are apparent in paid and unpaid labour. An increase in awareness for gender equality and feminism also comes a rise in racial equality. As such, the feminist movement has raised awareness on multiple societal issues and has allowed more people to approach issues in an unbiased manner.<\/p>\n<p><b>Now What<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In conclusion, it is our role to not only correct past injustices against genders, but also to teach others of feminism, which supports the improvement of gender relations. With an improved understanding of feminism, we will be equipped with the knowledge to apply a feminist lens to various fields such as the food system to tackle issues such as labour rights and malnutrition. With regards to our project on the Richmond Food Asset Map, our community partners have taken a feminist and unbiased approach to their services. These food assets are open to everyone, regardless of gender, income or status with some programs catering to the elderly and even to children. Overall, we believe knowledge regarding the values of the feminist movement will garner more participation and promote further improvements and actions towards gender equality in all areas not limited to the food system.<\/p>\n<p><b><u>Upcoming objectives and strategies to achieve them<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gather and submit information on food assets in Richmond to Anne Swann by March 5th<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will do this by separating the different kitchen and food programs Anne has told us about and contact these groups individually<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will also look towards contacting potential locations that may offer such services such as churches<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compile data into one excel file and submit to Anne<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin conducting interviews evaluating the usage of the Richmond Food Asset Map by March 12th\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will conduct interviews in either groups of 3 or in pairs and each group will be responsible for doing at least 3 interviews<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">References:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allen, P. &amp; Sachs, C.
