Afghan member of parliament and women's rights activist Farzana Kochai decided to stay in Kabul.

She said she had "feeling of responsibility and obligation" towards the Afghan people, especially women.

"We need some people to speak up about what's going on," she explained. "We have to stay and be a voice... for all those women, millions of women, who can't leave the country."

When the Taliban ruled most of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, the group did not allow women to go to school or work. Women were also forced to cover themselves with the burqa while in public.
