An inter-school art competition was organized in Karachi to raise awareness of the importance of creating safe and inclusive spaces for all.
The event was held under a collaborative initiative by Aahung and Right To Play, with the aim of 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 curriculum, students have learned how to recognize bullying, manage emotions and contribute to building safer and more respectful school environments.
The art competition gave them 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 participated, with students presenting powerful artwork around the theme of “Be Someone’s Safe Space.” The plays reflected their insights into kindness, empathy and standing up against bullying and discrimination.
Celebrities Gohar Rasheed and Kubra Khan also attended the event, engaging with students and sharing their thoughts on promoting respect, inclusion and compassion in schools.
Three winners were selected for their exceptional creativity and messages, while all participants helped reinforce the call for safer, more supportive learning spaces.
