Findings: The text of the interview was in the form of 150 concepts and 15 categories was summarized and categorized based on strategies and consequences and the essence of them under the title of "Compulsory adaptation and opportunism in the field of re-vulnerability horror" was extracted. The results show that Afghan women considered the fall of the system and the second rule of the Taliban as sudden and unwanted and considered it the cause of rollback. These women state that the changes have created an abnormal situation that has affected their lives and has made them face challenges and limitations. These women took strategies that were specific to that conditions in order to maintain security and reduce possible damages in terms of cost-benefit calculation, available options, and rationality. According to those conditions, Afghan women took strange strategies such as separation of loved ones and Anxiety and new challenges, etc., are the consequences of the strategies that they used to face the changes.
