Earlier this month Annie took part in a silent protest on the steps of St George's Cathedral, Cape Town.
In the following days, she released the Make It Happen petition, calling upon Government, Interfaith leaders, Media and Civil Society to take personal and professional responsibility to tackle the issue of violence against women and girls.
Make It Happen has so far gained support from over 80 signatories including: The Nelson Mandela Foundation, Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation, Elton John Aids Foundation, Amnesty International, Charlize Theron Outreach Africa Project, Oxfam GB and many more significant organisations.

Thank You Annie, that you care.....I belive there is only one way that can change or eliminate this terrible un-humen treatment in the future - TO TEACH our SONs to respect others, to teach them an empathy, to be an example of correct manners, to educt them to live with open heart, to explain a sence of equality, educate for morale and above all to teach them that only love and peace of mind can bring a harmony into their lifes.... ..A woman-mother should be strong to protect the children from humiliation and frustration - that cause a short circuit in adult behavior. And only such a child / son when grow up will able to recognize the LIMITS and the principal difference between humanity and monstrosity.....
We feel your effort Annie, your activity and involvement in a human and global injustice through the years.... and I'm proud of a woman like You !

You're not just an amazing women, you're an amazing human being. I have a sister,niece,mother, etc. and this needs to end.What the hell is wrong with this world? I'm behind you 100 percent Annie

As a South African citizen I would like to thank you, Annie Lennox, for bringing this issue to a world audience. I was born toward the end of apartheid and was never directly affected by its tentacles. I do, however, feel that living in South Africa with the high levels of gender based inequality and violence is my apartheid.

Very glad you're doing this Annie - wondering how we are going to make this happen? The whole issue is more out in the open than it ever has been but had no likes or comments when I posted this on Facebook & my friends are on the whole Feminist (women & men), but it seems to still be taboo - talking about difficult things makes you somehow unattractive. But then we are trying to overcome 2000 years + of inequality so I guess it will take a while.

a beautiful way to express your position on violence and abuse... it is so sad to see this still happening all over the world. The world needs to change it's view on what is acceptable to ignore! I hope we can all learn to listen to one another and be honest about what is right and wrong~*

In our Native Ways it is one thing that is not tolerated, but with the coming of Fire Water, the great mind changer, this violence is among us! but we are working to prevent this!

I know someone who was abused by her father and grandfather but no one believed her. I never met her grandfather but the house he died in felt very dark. A lot of Women and gils i've met throughout my live have been beaten and raped by men that they knew and those men never got into any trouble. Perhaps they were never even caught. They just had to move on and deal with it slowly, and painfully. Because no one would listen to them.

Hoorah! I FULLY support your cause, so much so that we are in the process of setting up a charity to bridge the gap between victim and survivor in the UK. It is a global issue that is the root of much disfunction. I am a survivor of abuse and rape myself. It has taken many years to heal the emotional scars and have the confidence to speak out without FEAR. By reducing this intense feeling of FEAR, it enables people to verbalise their situation which in turn reduces the effects of the abuse. :-)

We will always love you Annie. Keep doing the good work.

Its always good to see someone doing something so important, making use of their high profile. For some reason you get the feel that Annie would be that kind of person. On this particular suject India is also a place of great concern.

Thank you for doing something great for women in South Africa. In male-dominated societies, the poor, women and children are abused and ignored by and by.
