The movement was successful in getting the Algerian parliament to implement a revised family code in 2004. However Chouaki was critical of the new law which she said contained too many ambiguities and retained the use of matrimonial guardians. She was concerned that men would force women to accept a matrimonial guardian and saw it as a concession to the Islamic Movement of Society for Peace who had opposed the new law. Chouaki was also concerned that too much power rested with judges, particularly in divorce cases. Such was her influence that she has been described as a participant in all of the struggles for democracy and women's rights in Algeria.
