"The Covid-19 Pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on migration, human mobility, and the lives of migrants around the globe. Governments respond to it through a mixture of measures, including social distancing, movement restrictions, public health measures, social and economic measures, and lockdowns. Some response measures have both worsened preexisting vulnerabilities and inequalities and shifted government interactions further towards surveillance activities and the securitisation of migration. This report has selected nine areas of concern where the pandemic has changed the lives of migrants. As the pandemic continued in 2021, there is a growing urgency to ensure that the inequalities and vulnerabilities are addressed through migrant specific responses to bring about positive change."
