Mongolia

Moderate

58/100

Same-sex relations are legal and targeted criminal and employment protections exist, but no couple recognition, surgery-based gender recognition, low public acceptance and inconsistent enforcement keep practical risk elevated.

Higher numbers mean greater documented traveller exposure. This is a planning signal, not a promise of safety.

Local context can change the plan.

QARI remains a country baseline. These guides add local route and community context; they do not overwrite national legal or enforcement conditions.

Questions and limits

What does QARI say about Mongolia?

QARI records a moderate country-level baseline of 58 out of 100. Higher numbers mean greater documented exposure, not a personal-safety verdict.

How is this score built?

The published score combines legal risk (35%), social reality (40%), and digital and enforcement risk (25%). A documented risk floor can raise, but never lower, the result.

Can this score describe every city or traveller?

No. National averages can conceal local variation. Use the linked city guides and current local or official advice alongside this baseline.
