While it is not easy to determine the magnitude of Child Abuse and Neglect in Mongolia, it is substantial. According to UNICEF, violence against Mongolian children remains extremely high, with 47% of children aged 1-14 having experienced violent disciplines. That’s almost one out of two children reported experiencing some form of child abuse or neglect during their childhood.

However, the official cases only tell a part of the story, as many (if not most) incidents are never reported to social services agencies or law enforcements. Without intervention, these children are more susceptible to become victims of violence, neglect, human trafficking, or even abusers themselves. That’s why Lantuun Dohio was established.

About the Ger (yurt) District in Mongolia

The Ger district (Mongolian: гэр хороолол, ger khoroolol) is a form of residential district in Mongolian settlements. They usually consist of parcels with one or more detached houses or gers (hence the name), surrounded by two-metre high wooden fences. In other countries, gers are known as yurts.
