On August 26, Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar met with representatives of the Mongolian Women’s Union to discuss their initiatives and future cooperation. He thanked the Union for continuing its 100-year tradition of advancing women’s rights and emphasized the importance of protecting girls, women, and families.
The Prime Minister noted that women make up 51 percent of Mongolia’s population and highlighted government efforts to combat domestic violence, including the “No One Should Be Harmed” campaign and the establishment of a National Committee against Violence. He also welcomed the Union’s proposal to celebrate the “International Day for the Protection of the Rights of the Girl.”
Union President B.Oyungerel reported on projects such as “Cancer-Free Mongolian Woman,” which has provided early cancer screening for over 21,000 women, and “Nandin,” which addresses peer bullying, discrimination, and screen addiction among adolescents. Training programs on domestic violence, child protection, and sex education have also reached 50,000 citizens.
Union members raised issues including support for women entrepreneurs, fairer kindergarten funding, family protection, and property rights for women herders. In response, the Prime Minister pledged support for expanding health initiatives, introducing prenatal and postpartum counseling, and strengthening cooperation to improve women’s welfare and mental health.
