Every year, countries around the world observe the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence from November 25 to December 10 under the theme "United for a Common Purpose."
In Mongolia's 2024 parliamentary elections, 32 women were elected, comprising 25% of the total members of parliament. This marks a historic milestone, making Mongolia the leader in Asia for women's representation in decision-making bodies.
As the Minister of the sector, I am confident that women's participation at the decision-making level will continue to grow in line with the principles of constitutional reforms.
Between 2019 and 2024, Mongolia achieved significant progress in addressing gender-related issues. Reports of domestic violence have relatively decreased over the past two years. However, these improvements are not yet sufficient.
Moving forward, we will focus on creating opportunities for women to thrive, including promoting employment, improving access to education, and enhancing awareness of human rights and equality. Our efforts will ensure that women are free from violence and discrimination.
Key legal frameworks, such as Mongolia's long-term development policy "Vision 2050," the Election Law, the Social Insurance Package Law, the Labor Law amendments, and the revised Child Protection Law, have all strengthened the legal environment for ensuring gender equality and empowering women.
It is important to note that gender is not solely a women's issue. We must protect everyone from violence and discrimination, promote inclusivity, and uphold human rights at all levels.
Ensuring gender equality and enhancing women’s economic capacity are essential strategies for protecting women, emphasized Minister of Labor and Social Protection L. Enkh-Amgalan, reflecting the ministry's policies and priorities.
