FREE, BUT IMPURE

In contrast to Pakistani culture Kalash women seem to enjoy a certain freedom . However because of the concept of purity and impurity ingrained in their religion the woman considered impure, is relegated to being subordinated to men on the basis of her physiology. The consideration of pragata, impure is a huge limitation of their daily mobility from bathing and washing their clothes outside the home to having to abandon it during menstruation or childbirth to isolate themselves in the bashaleni which is a historic patriarchal strategy that continues to prevent the empowerment of Kalash women.
