The research behind the campaign shows that:

• Community kitchens are more than food aid. They act as healing spaces where women facing multiple crises—violence, hunger, unemployment, trauma—find solidarity, dignity, and mutual support.
• Women’s unpaid and under-recognised labour of care is the backbone of community resilience. Yet this labour often remains invisible in state policies and food system planning.
• The state’s failure to secure the Right to Food forces women to fill the gaps. This places enormous physical, emotional, and financial burdens on them, while highlighting the urgent need for structural change.
• Kitchens create spaces of resistance: they challenge dominant ideas of who holds knowledge and power in the food system, and show that grassroots practices of care and provision can be politically transformative.
• Through collective practices such as storytelling, photovoice, and writing retreats, the women turned their daily struggles into forms of advocacy, producing knowledge and strategies that speak directly to policymakers.
• The research revealed how food insecurity is deeply entangled with gender-based violence, patriarchy, and colonial legacies of exclusion, making food a powerful entry point for wider struggles for justice.
