Bahar Muradova, the chairperson of the State Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs of Azerbaijan, announced that 730 girls received assistance through the Support for Girls' Education project.

She shared these results during the 7th World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue in Baku. The project began in 2021 to increase educational opportunities for girls and promote sustainable development. Under this initiative, 317 female students received support through the Hanifa Malikova-Zardabi scholarship program.

The project also established an alumni network that connects students from more than 30 universities. Muradova stated that the committee aims to help girls enter fields like science, technology, and digital industries while preparing them for roles in decision-making. The chairperson noted that these goals depend on cooperation between families, the private sector, and government agencies. The project also seeks to improve women's access to vocational training and entrepreneurship.
