Sumario:This article presents the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on female migratory flows to Brazil. The methodological approach was a comparative study, taking into account the period from January to September 2020 and 2019, 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 and refugee women in the formal labour market in Brazil, using the harmonised databases RAIS, CTPS and CAGED, from the Ministry of Economy, for the period mentioned above. 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.
