The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how much society depends on the so-called "essen-tial workers". While, on the one hand, much of the attention has been paid to the healthcare workers who have worked on the front line during the pandemic emergency, other categories of care have not received as much public and academic interest: in this contribution we will focus on the case of migrant women who work as care workers, more commonly defined as "badanti" reflecting on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physical and mental health of this part of the population. After discussing the main critical issues that have emerged from the scarce literature available, policy indications will be discussed in order to promote an improvement in the quality of life and work of migrant care workers in Italy.
