The COVID-19 pandemic brought about numerous changes in human life. Governments across the globe were under pressure to alter their modus operandi in various governance dynamics. For the majority of nations, prevention and mitigation efforts were abrupt and difficult, and the prolonged lockdown strained socioeconomic activities. On the other hand, marginalized groups and individuals are especially susceptible to the negative effects of the pandemic and have suffered greatly as a result. During the pandemic, the number and severity of human rights abuses and violations increased, resulting in increased psychological distress. During the pandemic, the paper focuses on mental distress and disturbances caused by human rights restrictions and violations. During the OCVID-19 pandemic, the paper focuses on migrant and mental health issues resulting from global human rights violations.
