Food For Peace - Chef Saimah Domado Monir

Located in Southern Philippines, Marawi has repeatedly resisted colonial rule since the Spanish Occupation in the 1500s to American Occupation in the late 1800s. However, in 2017, aerial bombs from armed state forces rained down on Marawi to flush out a handful of attackers allegedly linked to ISIS. Babai Women’s Network is a diverse group of artists, writers, and food activists who initiated a series of fundraising events for the internally displaced people of Marawi City.
