Blogger’s note: I don’t often re-write a blog, however I felt my first blog on this subject was somehow lacking. Stigma is a huge issue for Food Insecurity and hopefully you will find this revised post better able to communicate the importance of being aware and then taking action on eliminating Stigma
All of us are affected by social stigma. On occasion, we are the victim of it. Other times we can perpetuate it. Stigma and bias can result from the best of intentions as easily as it can be the result of ignorance. People may want to impose their concept of “what is right” or to help someone to “avoid making a mistake.” Stigma is especially prevalent for people who suffer from poverty or are from marginalized communities.
