On the occasion of International Women’s Day, two forums were organized at State House whilst two other demonstrations were held on Sukhbaatar Square and the Peace Bridge in Ulaanbaatar.
Half-naked women demonstrated on Sukhbaatar square, holding up banners with the slogans ‘Remove Offshore-Account Holders’ and ‘Bring Back the Stolen Money’. These women appeared suddenly on square just as the participants of a forum of 1000 mothers who had been awarded Honoured Mother Medal came out of the State House.
Also, some students demonstrated for women’s rights on the Peace Bridge. Their action was entitled ‘Strong women are a bridge of peace’.
