Gender equality

In the 2024 parliamentary election in Mongolia, a constitutional amendment increased the number of Members of Parliament to 126, introduced a mixed electoral system, and required candidate lists to alternate by gender. This was a historic milestone. As a result, a record 32 women were elected to the 9th Parliament, making up 25.4% of all members. This brought Mongolia closer to the global average and made it one of the leaders in Asia for women’s political representation.
