Summary

This documentary details gender norms found in urban and rural Mongolia from its independence in 1924 through the post-Soviet era. Particular attention is paid to education rates in primary and secondary school, as well as higher education, where women make up 70-80% of graduates. 

Gender Montage is a series of nine films from nine countries that explores the state of women in the Post-Soviet era. In some places women are impelled merely to get used to the new economic realities, while in other places, their lives are in permanent danger. Almost nowhere do societies wish to listen to their voices when they speak about their realities. Countries include: Azerbaijan, Estonia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
