This Capstone research focuses on the social problem of gender-based violence in the food system, examining its hidden forms. The main conceptual frameworks used in this research are gender and violence, which includes both direct and hidden forms of violence. My overall research question asks, what are the hidden forms of gender-based violence in the food system? To answer this question, I conducted a content analysis of literature relevant to gender-based violence in the food system. Research findings document hidden forms of violence throughout the food system, which are evident in the advertising industry, retail stores, restaurants, supermarkets, households, food production, government, and farms. Overall, I conclude that hidden forms of violence exist all around us and occur in front of our eyes, but we cannot distinguish them because they are normalized to the point that they are unrecognizable. To create more socially just food systems and society, it is essential to acknowledge and confront the hidden forms of gender violence. }, number = {ETD}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/bpxhc43420}, recid = {43420}, address = {2024-06-18}, }
