Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. As the world continues to grapple with the
pandemic, we have been witnessing severe consequences of this global crisis
including not only economic but also social and cultural impacts. Like other
countries around the world, Mongolia has been experiencing sharp increase in
violence against women and children since the pandemic hit.
UNFPA and UNICEF have been working together with financial support
from the Government of Japan to protect maternal and child health, as well as
to prevent and respond to violence against women and children during the time
of COVID-19 global pandemic.
As part of this partnership, dignity kits, which contains basic
hygiene and sanitation items, have been handed over to the One Stop Service
Centers (OSSC) where the number of survivors has increased since the pandemic
hit, including the OSSCs at the districts of Bayanzurkh and Khan-Uul, the National
Trauma and Orthopaedic Research Center and the UB City Police Agency.
