| Title | Role of Public Policy for Women's Equality in Politics: Comparative Analysis of Mongolia, Russian Federation and the United Nations Framework |
| Summary | Women tend to play major role in their households, and in the depiction of sacred and saint images of Goddess and angels in cultures and religions, however they can not play any influential role at political decision making levels for the sake of their own states or families in most of the United Nations Member States, Mongolia and the Russian Federation. Women do not have equal political representation as men as a result of many factors including lack of equal political participation, historical political hierarchy of men, lack of women’s equal participation in some sectors of labor market and subordination of women to men. Public policy is one of the most effective ways of liberalizing and achieving women’s equal participation in politics which can contribute to advancing public policy for society with women’s voices. In Mongolia and the Russian Federation women are equal in health and education sectors where women are majority of personnel. Nonetheless, they are the minority without any influence for policy and decision making of those sectors as well as other public policy sectors. Therefore it is important to increase the number of women on political representation level particularly, it is possible to use the public policies to substantiate women’s equality in political representation, specially the policies of education and health sectors which are directly affecting women owing to women’s roles in families and societies. In addition, the majority of the workers of those sectors are women in Mongolia and the Russian Federation. The main findings of this thesis are that substantive gender equality can be achieved on decision making level particularly politics, however it is a long process requiring lots of hard work beginning from educating young children on gender equality to changing mentality with the assistance of the supportive active actions of the United Nations and its member states’ national policies. The United Nations, Mongolia, and the Russian Federation are making steps towards these. They need more efforts and initiatives to succeed more. On the other hand, women need to change their mentality towards what they want from life and try to do their best to achieve their goals in good and just ways. Without inspiration, goals are difficult to achieve. Mass media, literature, culture, technology, science, social tendencies, and public policies can be good parts of igniting and instilling inspiration in people including girls and women to achieve their goals. Both Mongolia and the Russian Federation and women need to work hand in hand to step up more educated and skilled women with good hearts and souls, and just and fair morale at policy making levels to develop more women empowering laws, regulations and policies and to support families, children, and women and catalyze society with right and good policies. |
