Immigrants are among the most vulnerable to Coronavirus pandemic conditions due to limited access to health care. Therefore, any action by governments must address the needs of vulnerable groups, including migrant women. Increasing the rate of women's migration; raises concerns about safety, health, and wellness issues, and makes it inevitable to pay attention to review existing laws and policies. One of the aims of this article is to study the right to health of immigrant women in Coronavirus crisis situations with a descriptive-analytical approach and seeks to answer the main question: what are the harms caused by the corona pandemic in the field of right to health of immigrant women? The results show that there are major challenges to the right to health of migrant women in the coronavirus pandemic. Indifference to the feminization of immigration leads to the lack of relevant policies and awareness in the countries of origin and host, and the protection of the rights, safety, and mental health of immigrant women in a difficult crisis. paying attention to the complexities of gender and immigration in programs and policies reduces the health costs of immigrant women. Cooperation at the international and national levels by emphasizing the Global Compact on Migration and other international instruments, allocating sufficient resources and empowering migrant women by removing barriers and facilitating access to services can be effective and helpful.

According to the international human rights system, human beings have an inherent right to enjoy human rights. In the meantime, although governments are obliged to fully comply with them, those rights are linked to life and survival issues, as well as the security and stability of the States. However, due to the entanglement of the right to health and public health with other human rights, the use of the suspension to cover the protection of the right to health in the extraordinary state of Corona has made the realization of this fundamental right doubly challenging. Therefore, the intrinsic part of this challenge is the adoption of health measures compatible with human rights. This article, descriptively-analytically, assuming the possibility of suspending human rights in the Corona emergency, seeks to answer the fundamental question of how the realization of the right to health is possible with the suspension of other human rights. At the same time, what measures are needed to reduce the friction between the right to health and other human rights cases? Since human rights provide a framework for balancing individual and societal interests, balancing rights instead of suspending one right for the benefit of another can help resolve this conflict.
