#1 The article is confusing. It says the EVAW is already the law and also says the EVAW is not the law.

Here are some things left out. Soon after Karzai became Prez, a series of laws were passed that gave women significantly more rights than under the Taliban. However, since that time, these rights have been eroding. In 2012, Karzai issued something like an exec order which eliminated a lot of the remainder of the woman's rights.
