Progressivism-What are the goals?

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

The views of the Progressive Bohra movement can be summed up by the list of essays on this page:

It is an admirable set of goals. However, should the ideals of Progressive Bohras be constrained to what is essentially change in regime? A lot of what I have read also seems to hanker for a return to the ideals of the 47th Dai. What does progressivism mean to you? Will you disavow the Syedna but not fight for the great progressive ideals of our time i.e. absolute equality for women within religion and society, the acceptance of people irrespective of their lifestyle choices etc.

I am curious to know what progressivism means to you.
