The focus of this article is on post-migration entitlement and access to health security of women international migrants in England who are in vulnerable circumstances. Here 'health security' is defined as the protection of health within a broader public health context. The aim is to understand the factors underlying migrants' vulnerabilities and how national and local health policies and practices respond in allowing or denying them rights to healthcare, thus impacting their ability to safeguard their health. This article is predominantly concerned with experiences of access to healthcare of categories of migrant women who may be in vulnerable situations including asylum seekers, refugees, refused asylum seekers or other undocumented migrant women, women with no recourse to public funds who are supported by local authorities, trafficked women, Roma women, women with limited fluency in English, and migrants from the European Union (EU) with no health insurance card. By examining empirical evidence of such women's experiences of entitlement and access to healthcare we are able to gain theoretical insight into the relationship between migration, gender and human (health) security
