COVID-19: new study tracks impact on undocumented women
A new study by the HumMingBird project, and supported by the European Network of Migrant Women based on surveys and interviews with grassroots experts in Ireland, Malta and Poland, shows that the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions have exacerbated situations of vulnerability for undocumented women. In many cases, lockdowns meant both loss of income and higher risks of losing a residence permit, and increased domestic violence and abuse. Access to health care remained limited.
