IT HAS BECOME COMMON TO PERCEIVE YOUTH IN ETHIOPIA AS €ˌTROUBLE MAKERS€„¢, AN 'IMMATURE' DEMOGRAPHIC', OR €ˌDEPENDENT€„¢, AND THESE PERCEPTIONS OFTEN ALIENATES YOUTH FROM THE MATTERS THAT AFFECT THEM AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. TRADITIONS DISCOURAGE YOUTH FROM OWNING SPACE, RECLAIMING THEIR VOICE, AND ENGAGING ACTIVELY. THIS HAS CREATED A RIFT BETWEEN YOUNG PEOPLE AND OLDER GENERATIONS, WHEREBY YOUTH PRESUME THAT ADULTS DO NOT ACCEPT THEIR IDEAS POSITIVELY.
