A SURVEY ON THE PROPORTION OF FEMALE OFFICERS IN POLICE ORGANIZATIONS

Аннотация

Nowadays, ensuring gender equality and human rights equality in all spheres of society has become one of the key indicators of development. In particular, ensuring equal participation of men and women in law enforcement activities can make decision-making, policy implementation, and public relations more fair, inclusive, and effective. In many countries around the world, policies to increase women's participation in police structures and support leadership are actively being implemented, and progress is being made in this area. For example, in countries such as Norway, Canada, and Australia, women make up 30–40 percent of all police officers, and in some cases they are widely represented in senior leadership positions. International studies show that this not only ensures gender balance, but also improves police communication skills and sensitivity to violent crime.

In Mongolia, women are highly interested in pursuing legal education and working in the civil service, but their representation in the police force remains relatively low. Furthermore, when broken down by job hierarchy, women are underrepresented at decision-making levels, which can be explained by social stereotypes, internal organizational culture, and inflexible working conditions.

Therefore, a detailed study and analysis of the proportion of women in the police force, their roles, and the challenges they face has become an important issue at the policy level. This article aims to analyze the gender structure of the Mongolian Police, the participation of female officers, and the opportunities and requirements for increasing it, based on statistical data.
