Women of Mongolia

 

 

„We have no time for feminism, we need gender equality!", a young Mongolian explained her perspective to me.

The streets of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, are influenced by three cultural characteristics: the old nomadic tradition, the socialism of the past, and the young democratisation movement.

How these different influences are reflected in today's image of women was the question that motivated me to do this portrait series.
