The Melbourne Law School and the Mountain Institute for Education and Development (MIED) have launched a program to support the education of Afghan girls.
In a joint statement issued on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, the Melbourne Law School and MIED announced the initiation of a one-year project aimed at supporting young girls both inside and outside Afghanistan.
The statement reads: “The denial of education directly affects young women who are still living in Afghanistan and dream of beginning or completing their legal studies.”
The Melbourne Law School emphasized that this program aims to enhance the capacity of women and girls in the legal field.
According to the statement, Ghulam Shah Adel Elizai, the former Dean of the Faculty of Law and Political Science at Herat University and the founder of MIED, has a strong background in providing legal education services.
The statement also noted that this project will be designed and implemented by Ghulam Shah Adel.
Since reclaiming power in Afghanistan, the Taliban have barred girls from attending schools and universities.
More than three years have passed, and the group continues to deprive women of education, employment, and individual freedoms.
