The number of female members in the Mongolian parliament has always been low. In the 2016 and 2020 parliaments, only 17% of the total members were women, but due to legal amendments in 2024, this percentage increased to 25%.

This article will cover Mongolia's experience in increasing the number of female members in parliament, highlighting the significant efforts and dedication that led to this achievement.
