This podcast episode from CSVR features host Athini Magodla interviewing Caroline Peters from the Callas Foundation, about food security and gender . Caroline Peters, an African feminist and human rights defender with 35 years of experience, discusses how food insecurity intersects with gender-based violence and racial inequality.
She highlights how food insecurity affects different demographic groups uniquely. Peters emphasizes that food access is a constitutional right under Section 27.1b and describes how historical inequalities from apartheid continue to impact food security today. She notes that while their kitchen serves predominantly male clients (60%) due to gang violence preventing access in other areas, women still bear the primary burden of food preparation and distribution within households.
The discussion covers how COVID-19 exacerbated food insecurity and changed traditional gender roles, with more men now seeking food assistance. Peters advocates for sustainable solutions including community gardens, improved land access, and addressing systemic inequalities to ensure food security for future generations.
