Abstract
This article presents the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on female migratory flows to Brazil. The methodological approach was a comparative study, considering the period from January to September 2019 and 2020, and based on the information contained in the Federal Police databases, on the arrival of immigrants through border checkpoint (STI) and the migratory registration (SisMigra). In addition, we analyzed the insertion of migrant women in the formal labour market in Brazil, using the harmonized databases of Annual Social Information List (Rais), Work and Social Security Card (CTPS) and General Register of Employees and Unemployed (Caged), from the Ministry of Economy, for the period previously mentioned. The study has revealed that, so far, the Covid-19 pandemic has contributed to maintain and intensify the axes of inequality (gender, class, ethnic-racial group and origin), which impact immigrant women's access to resources.
