Mongolia's electoral reforms have significantly transformed the political landscape, ushering a record number of women into Parliament.
Mongolians go to the polls in parliamentary elections on Friday, with the ruling Mongolian People's Party widely expected to retain a majority it has held for eight years.
The Standing Committee on State Structure of the Parliament, in cooperation with the UN Promoting Gender Equality and Women's Participation in Decision-making project, organized the First Conference of Women Parliamentarians on September 7, 2022.
The achievement is part of a long trek toward gender equality in Mongolia’s foreign policy.
Twelve Mongolian women, all running for office in their homeland, are currently touring the United States to gain first-hand knowledge of politics, campaigns and leadership.
