Introduction: The National Policy for Food and Nutrition Security instituted the BolsaFamília Program (BFP) as one of its main measures to combat extreme poverty and hunger. Objective: To identify the perceptions and knowledge of BFPparticipantsregarding the dimensions of the Human Right to Adequate Food (HRAF) and healthy eating. Methods: This was a qualitative study with a representative sample of women who participate in the BFP in the Morros de Santos region-SP (n=190). Semistructured interviews were audio recorded and transcribed for thematic content analysis. Thematic centres and categories were produced for each dimension of interest. Results: The participants, with a mean age of 33 years and considered low income, showed a lack of knowledge about HRAF. Few interviews highlighted the fight against hunger and the search for citizenship, but they revealed scepticism regarding the consolidated guarantees. The routine in the health services for monitoring the conditionalities of the BFP emerged in the rights dimension. The definition of healthy eating by the participants emphasized the importance of fresh and minimally processed foods but revealed the use of ultra-processed foods asalternatives given the financial difficulties in accessing healthy foods. Conclusions: The findings reveal the need to develop public policies and actions for the emancipation and strengthening of families entitled to the BFP from the citizen perspective of defending the enforceability of the HRAF.
