Students have created posters to remind the world that 148 people, including 132 children, were slaughtered at school.
Graphic design student Umaima Mughal decided to get involved in the project after meeting victims’ families at the Aga Khan University Hospital.
“We have permanently become indifferent to the violence around us … We have become numb.
We wanted to move people, to feel something when they look at the posters.
‘We don’t want them to remain indifferent. We want people to feel the pain.”
– Umaima Mughal, Graphic design student

On December 16, 2014, seven Taliban gunmen opened fire on pupils aged between eight and 15 at The Army Public School and College in Peshawar, Pakistan.
The targeting of children was greeted with horror throughout Pakistan and Afghanistan where Taliban and al-Qaeda leaders branded it ‘un-Islamic’.
Now youngsters at another Pakistan school, the Indus Valley School of Arts and Architecture in Karachi, have created artwork to tell the world enough is enough.
Twenty graphic design students created the posters to remind people of the tragedy.
