ABSTRACT

Objective

To identify and reflect about civil society’s initiatives to curb hunger in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil.

Methods

In order to identify society’s initiatives to fight hunger, two independent systematic searches were conducted in the Google^® search engine using the following keywords: “covid civil society initiatives” and “hunger pandemic solidarity campaign”.

Results

Fourteen nationwide civil society-promoted initiatives were identified, that among their objectives aimed at fostering collective funding to purchase and distribute foods.

Conclusion

Brazilian society has been historically sensitive to the hunger problem and shows solidarity as a social value. Nevertheless, the State is legally bound to provide food, as a social right.
