Objectives: This study is conducted to explore the lived experiences of undocumented migrant women in South Korea, who are excluded from legal protection, and to identify the essential structure of those experiences. Methods: Data were collected through in-depth interviews conducted between February and March 2026 with eight undocumented migrant women living in G-City. The collected data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s phenomenological method. Results: The lived experiences of undocumented migrant women were categorized into four theme clusters: “Constant Fear of Deportation and Imprisonment of Daily Space”, “Bodies Unable to be Sick and Medical Isolation”, '“The Weight of an Erased Existence and Social Extinction”, and “Motherhood as the Sole Support and Existential Guilt”. The essential feature their lived experience was identified as an “existential struggle at the margins,” in which a body engulfed in fear and a will to endure through love collide. Conclusions: This study’s findings serve as foundational data for establishing a humanitarian healthcare guarantee system for undocumented migrant women and strengthening the role of nurses as human rights advocates.
