Women on the frontiers of hunger

A group of peruvian women is voluntarily in charge of addressing one of the biggest problems of the crisis: hunger in the most vulnerable sectors of the capital of Lima, in Peru. The women organized in “ollas comunes” -community-led soup kitchens- in informality without a specific record on their ranges or their storage capacity. These women have a greater responsibility. They should take care not only of their families but of others. According to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, latin women dedicate three times as much time on unpaid care work than men prior to the pandemic, an effort that almost always impacts people who are in poverty.
