The youth speak out on AYINET's nomination
“I was very happy when I heard about AYINET and Victor Ochen’s nomination on my local radio station. Victor Ochen is a youth while AYINET is an organisation working with Youth. These nominations gives me hope because I see a sign of victory that attitude and perception towards the youth will change in society, from being referred to as perpetrators to peace builders.

It is time for the youth to change attitudes. Society thinks that we the young people didn’t have that bitter experience, and that this limits our contribution in peace building. Our views are not taken seriously but this nomination paves the way for more youth engagement as it clearly shows the roles youth have to play in peace building.

For a long time, focus has been on the LRA perpetrators, rather than the victims of conflict in northern Uganda. I am very grateful that at last a victim and a youth organisation working for peace has been recognized for the work they do, and nominated for the Nobel peace Prize.
