This opinion brief argues for a feminist perspective in transforming urban food systems, highlighting the essential role of women, particularly from marginalized communities, in ensuring food security. Despite their significant contributions, women often encounter systemic barriers and discrimination within urban food governance, with their caregiving roles frequently rendered invisible. The brief critiques the recent UN Committee on World Food Security report for inadequately addressing these issues and emphasizes the need for structural changes to incorporate care work into food system designs. By proposing urban commons as a framework for community engagement and support, this report calls for recognizing and valuing women's contributions to food security and addressing the intersectional inequalities that persist in urban environments.
