Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic hit undocumented migrant workers, a population already living in precarious and particularly hard circumstances. Often overlooked and misunderstood, their lives remain largely invisible with limited data available to illustrate their struggles, especially in times of crisis. In Geneva, Switzerland, many grappled to cope with losing their jobs, unstable housing and limited access to healthcare, yet many managed to stay despite facing these hardships.
