An inter-school art competition was organized in Karachi to raise awareness on the importance of creating safe and inclusive spaces for all.
The event was held as part of a collaborative initiative by Aahung and Right To Play, aimed at educating students on issues related to gender-based violence.
Through creative expression, the competition encouraged participants to explore themes such as empathy, respect, emotional intelligence and inclusion.
Through this program, students learned to recognize bullying, manage their emotions, and help create safer and more respectful school environments.
The art competition provided them with a creative platform to express their understanding of these concepts and show how they envision safe spaces in their daily lives.
More than 50 schools took part, with students presenting powerful artwork around the theme ‘Be someone’s safe space’. The pieces reflected their ideas about kindness, empathy and fighting against bullying and discrimination.
Celebrities Gohar Rasheed and Kubra Khan also participated in the event, engaging with students and sharing their thoughts on promoting respect, inclusion and compassion within schools.
Three winners were selected for their creativity and exceptional messages, while all participants helped amplify the call for safer and more supportive learning spaces.
