As of March 2022, COVID-19 seems to unfold into a quite different direction from the initial shock and damages in the early stages of COVID-19 in 2020. This is a compilation of previous brief series which analyzed the difficulties and crisis conditions experienced by migrants, especially women migrants since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020. It deals with the dire situations that migrants, in general, had to experience starting from the exclusion from procuring masks to receiving partial governmental COVID-19 emergency relief fund (the first brief). The Korean Chinese migrants residing in Korea working as care workers did not receive sufficient support from the Korean government even under the care crisis (the second brief). The personal stories of women marriage migrants reveal that they have been excluded and did not benefit from the emergency relief fund distribution (the third brief). The fourth brief also reveals the exacerbated crisis added to refugees and undocumented women migrants’ hardship during COVID-19.
