By the constitution, yes, and by the practice that was made in 2004-05, and in 2009, yes, but it is not progressive; the process is taking steps back. Because with the empowerment of extremism in Afghanistan, there is more fear created and more frustration. Women activists in Afghanistan now have the idea that extremism is powerful and that they will be defeated, failed, threatened, and killed.
That is why the sense is to become conservative, to take steps back. The activists who came to Afghanistan from those countries in the first years are not coming anymore; they went back to their second homes and they stopped taking an interest in Afghanistan. And as for those who were from inside Afghanistan, some joined the extremist groups to be protected, and some others very much collapsed.
