Tseesuren: I am also from Tsogt-Ovoo.
I have been here for the past three years.
Before, I used to run a bar.
I am here because I need to pay for the tuition of my children who are students in a college.
N. Battur: I am from Umnugobi.
I am a retiree from the armed forces.

I have a family of 5, my husband and three children.
I used to work as a chef.
Now I am unemployed.
Alexander: I am from the same place as others.
I live with my wife and kids, the six of us.
What are the difficulties you encounter while working here?
Alexander: I work here together with my wife.

Even for a tap water, we have to pay 2500.
Tsesuren: There is no use in complaining as we are here of our own volition.
The conditions are very difficult.
The only thing that I would ask from the government is to establish a medical unit here, the rest – different services are here.
This is needed because the popul... | Democratic Participation | Electoral facilitation for women candidates and women voters | Mongolia | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1709266367664.pdf | https://www.idea.int/sites/default/files/pictures/DGI-MongoliaUNDP.pdf | federal political party act | true |
When there is an emergency, we need to transport people.
And this takes time.
Shinehuu: There is no equipment here.
In winter and in summer, all the year round, we have only these green tubs to wash the gold.
Some people have made their own “scrapers” and wash the gold using them.
Recently, some people who claim t... | Democratic Participation | Electoral facilitation for women candidates and women voters | Mongolia | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1709266367664.pdf | https://www.idea.int/sites/default/files/pictures/DGI-MongoliaUNDP.pdf | federal political party act | true |
In fact, we are the owners of our land.
We are under a lot of pressure as the aimag Governor, Sumya, came along with 40-50 police to force us out.
Also, there is a tax burden.
We pay 3000 every week.
There are physical dangers such as the mine may collapse.
We don’t have any security and the right to live.
Many p... | Democratic Participation | Electoral facilitation for women candidates and women voters | Mongolia | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1709266367664.pdf | https://www.idea.int/sites/default/files/pictures/DGI-MongoliaUNDP.pdf | federal political party act | true |
If only we could pay this tax every month instead.
They come when we don’t have the money.
Every one pays the tax.
It would be better if families were taxed.
Sometimes the mine that we have been digging will collapse.
Sometimes people die under it.
This is very dangerous.
The local authorities pay no attention t... | Democratic Participation | Electoral facilitation for women candidates and women voters | Mongolia | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1709266367664.pdf | https://www.idea.int/sites/default/files/pictures/DGI-MongoliaUNDP.pdf | federal political party act | true |
Have there been any changes in your life?
143 Tseesuren: I feel that sometimes it is better now, and sometimes that it is still the same.
I am able to satisfy only the basic needs.
This summer around 500 persons have arrived here.
If it were 300, that would be O.K.
The remaining 200 are very impoverished.

We have 5 children, three are adults now, and two are college students.
We pay 360.000 tugrugs as tuition plus the dorm payments.
Altogether we need to pay 2 million tugrugs annually.
We earn this by digging here.
Our income is not stable.
We work because we believe that some day we will find a lot of gold.

We have no medical help here.
N. Battur: It is O.K.
Mother Nature helps a lot to survive.
We have food to eat.
When there is luck, it is much better.
At other times, it is really hard.
Alexander: If taxes are lowered, this will help a lot.
Unluckily, taxes are high.

It is O.K.
with us; we receive our 34000 as pension.
But these young people have no jobs, so they have to stay here to earn some living.
Recently, we heard that in Tsetsen Ovoo, they needed 100 drivers.
We were glad to hear that.
At least some of the younger people will have stable jobs.

Battur: We don’t have ... | Democratic Participation | Electoral facilitation for women candidates and women voters | Mongolia | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1709266367664.pdf | https://www.idea.int/sites/default/files/pictures/DGI-MongoliaUNDP.pdf | federal political party act | true |
Children help to have food for every day.
If I had stayed five years longer in the border troops and had retired, I would have gotten compensation according to law.
I retired in 2003 and have not received anything as compensation.
I filed all the necessary documents and have not yet received any reply.

Those who have debts; some are able to pay them off, and some are not.
The people who are working here are not well off.
The people with debts work very hard whereas those with no debts tend to like to have it easy on them and don’t earn a lot.

Even bosses can’t survive on their salaries.
Alexander: Those who come here are mostly jobless and without herds.
Can you compare the previous government service and the current?
Tseesuren: Previously, there were no jobless people.
People would get punished for not working.
