"Moving to a country that is not our own involves significant challenges. The
main one is to successfully integrate into a new environment, culture, and
customs.

Perú is host to more than 1.5 million Venezuelan migrants and refugees, half of
whom are women.  It is particularly difficult for them to have their rights
respected; they are at a greater risk of experiencing discrimination, violence,
or even being involved in cases of human trafficking. Their migratory status
and the absence of a support network limits their opportunities to be socially
and economically included through contacts or acquaintances.

In the face of this challenging reality, community kitchens ("ollas comunes" in
Spanish) have become spaces that promote the integration of Venezuelan migrant
and refugee women.  These groups, composed mainly of women, are essentially
communal, supportive, integrative, and generators of support networks."
