Within the framework of the "Strengthening the Response to gender-based violence in Mongolia (2025–2030)" project, financed by the Government of Canada, the Supreme Court of Mongolia, the Judicial Training, Research, and Information Academy, and the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) are co-organizing a Training of Trainers on Family Cases and Juvenile Justice from May 4–8, 2026.

Opening the event, N. Bayarmaa, Justice of the Supreme Court and Presiding Justice of the Civil Chamber, stated: "The decision to establish a specialized Family and Youth Court under the Law on the Establishment of Courts on June 5, 2024, marks the second time a specialized court has been established in Mongolia after 24 years a historic event. Previously, family and child related matters were handled through general civil and criminal proceedings. Today, there is a necessity to approach these issues from a brand new perspective focused on restoring human rights and supporting fundamental national development. This training is not only for acquiring knowledge but is also of exceptional importance for strengthening the foundation of the new judicial system and uniting judges under a single understanding and shared values".
