The attack on the Army Public School saw a shift in public opinion on the country‘s more than decade long struggle against extremism.
The army intensified an offensive against militants in tribal areas where they had previously operated with impunity, and the government launched a sweeping plan to tackle extremism, including greater prosecution of hate crimes.
The effort has seen levels of militancy-linked violence fall to their lowest levels since 2007, the year the Tehreek-e-Taliban came into being.
