On the occasion of International Day of the Girl, October 11, the Mongolian Women's Association organized "Silent Scream of the Bunny" sit-in today.
They are holding a sit-in at the Sukhbaatar Square to demand lawmakers to impose appropriate penalties for child abusers and increase the minimum sentence.
The association also said “Until today, no compensation has been paid for the emotional harm caused to young children, which results in lifelong psychological trauma. Sexual harassment in the workplace has been removed from the Criminal Law. We have demanded to restore the provision since 2019. Unfortunately, the Parliament Members are ignoring this. Since we do not have the opportunity to enter the Parliament House and tell the Members, we are organizing today's event to draw the attention of the media and voters.
Mongolians have a tradition of making the child brown bald rabbit by saying "Don't be afraid" so as not to scare their children at night. Representing this tradition, we put bunny. Last year the rabbits had a blue coat, this year it has a white coat”.
