Translated from the Authors’ Original Mongolian for the International Audience

Abstract

Although Mongolia has made great efforts to ensure gender equality, the percentage of women's participation at the decision-making level is still insufficient. The National Assembly of Mongolia approved the Law on Ensuring Gender Equality in 2011, and Article 5.1.3 of the law states that the State shall ensure the equality of men and women in accordance with the Constitution of Mongolia, international agreements of Mongolia, and other laws. It is stipulated that the obligation to fulfill and be responsible for its results is specified. In recent years, Mongolia has made great efforts to ensure gender equality, but the percentage of women at the decision-making level and the number of women in representative organizations are still insufficient. Therefore, the issue of ensuring gender equality at the decision-making level is related to the need to increase the representation of the addicts. This study aims to clarify public attitudes towards female politicians, including their attitudes towards the suitability of women for decision-making positions.
