Situation of the children in Mongolia
There are around 862,000 children under the age of 18 living in Mongolia. Over the past decades, the government has increasingly promoted and protected the rights of children by ratifying international treaties and implementing national legislation. The lives of children have improved in many ways, for example, infant and child mortality has decreased. However, they have also been affected by the on-going challenges posed by the political, economic and social changes. The high poverty rate and the social and geographic inequalities have hindered progress towards improving the lives of children.
In the past decades, the divorce rate has increased and the number of crimes committed against children has risen. The number of children committing crimes has also grown: about ten per cent of the imprisoned population is under the age of 18 - the most common causes for receiving a sentence are theft and robbery.
Child labour is a persistent problem; around 18 per cent of children between the ages of five and 14 are involved in work. Children in rural areas are more likely to be forced to work for free; it is calculated that about 90 per cent of rural children work for their families. They are less likely to attend school, thus limiting their chances of finding a job in the future.

The precarious conditions of women and children, especially in the poorer rural areas, make them particularly vulnerable to human trafficking. Mongolian women and children are trafficked for sexual and labour exploitation, not only to surrounding countries, but also further afield. The problem is believed to be rising, and the government has initiated an action plan to combat human trafficking.

SOS Children's Villages in Mongolia
The shifting social, economic and political situation in Mongolia has increased the number of vulnerable children and families. SOS Children's Villages has responded to these changes by setting up a variety of support programmes. Young people can live in special houses where they are guided on their path to an independent life with the help of professionals. The SOS Social Centres run family-strengthening programmes, which support families in need by providing them with information about parenting skills, nutrition, health and finances. When, in spite of all support provided, children can no longer be cared for by their parents or relatives, they can move into an SOS family where they are looked after by an SOS mother.

SOS CHILDREN'S VILLAGES IN MONGOLIA
It was the personal initiative of Monica Quaroni, wife of the Italian Ambassador in Mongolia, who brought Hermann Gmeiner's idea to the country in 1996. After the collapse of the former Soviet Union in 1991 the terrible social and economic conditions became evident. Therefore, SOS-Kinderdorf International decided to become active here and to build an SOS Children's Village in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.
