Women and girls around the world are facing significant threats, from wars and conflicts to devastating climate change, widening inequalities, and pushback on their human rights and freedoms. 

These threats were at the top of the agenda of the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF), the main UN platform to assess progress towards achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This year’s forum opened on 8 July 2024 under the theme of “Reinforcing the 2030 Agenda and eradicating poverty in times of multiple crises: the effective delivery of sustainable, resilient, and innovative solutions.”

“Women and girls continue to face discrimination and disadvantage,” said Amina J. Mohammed, the United Nations Deputy Secretary General, during the forum.

“Policies to support the empowerment of women and youth, and the rights of children and their social and emotional well-being, have been implemented,” she added. “But we must keep our focus on women’s rights at every level in every constituency across all issues.”

Over the course of ten days, UN Member States, alongside civil society organizations, youth, the private sector, and international organizations, convened to review achievements, identify areas for action, and share best practices in catalyzing the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, in a context where only 17 per cent of targets are set to be realized at the current pace.

Mongolia's electoral reforms have significantly transformed the political landscape, ushering a record number of women into Parliament. This change follows the May 2023 constitutional amendment, which expanded parliamentary seats from 76 to 126 and introduced a mandatory 30 per cent candidate quota for women. As a result, the number of female MPs has increased dramatically, from 13 to 32.

The elections on 28 June 2023, were the first under this new system; introducing the parallel system in which 48 out of 126 were elected through proportionate representation. Mongolia's political landscape has long been dominated by two major parties, the Mongolian People's Party (MPP) and the Democratic Party (DP), the MPP winning the last two elections by a large margin. Although the MPP retained dominance with 68 seats, the margin was narrower than in previous elections. The DP increased its representation from 11 to 42 seats.

The reform was motivated by an intent to bolster multiparty democracy by allowing easier access for smaller parties into Parliament, preventing any single party from achieving a ‘supermajority’, and enhancing female representation. This goal of including smaller political parties was realized as the other three parties; the National Labour Party (HUN), National Coalition, and Civil Will – Green Party secured seats as well.
