| CAMPAIGNING FOR THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE WITH HIV/AIDS |
Annie Lennox has teamed up with 23 of the world's most
acclaimed female superstar voices for the charity record Sing,
to raise money and awareness for the HIV/AIDS organisation,
Treatment Action Campaign (TAC). The original track, already
available to download through all online retailers; will be
accompanied by special remixes available from SATURDAY
1st DECEMBER – WORLD AIDS DAY. The track is taken from
Annie's new album Songs of Mass Destruction released this
week.
Annie Lennox recently spent 2 weeks in South Africa with the
TAC, recording the real situation millions are facing every day,
so the people unaware of the pandemic might gain some
understanding. There are few resources to help medicate
sufferers or educate the people about the prevention of
HIV/AIDS. The trip will be documented across online, TV and
print media produced by Annie Lennox herself.
Included among the group of superstar voices are TAC local
activist members own vocal group, known as "The Generics",
whose CD of social / political activist songs inspired Annie to
make Sing a reality. Annie then personally approached each of
the female artists by letter and the recordings were made all
over the world in each artist local studio over the spring of 2007.
TAC was founded on 10 December 1998 in Cape Town, South
Africa. They campaign for treatment for people with HIV and to
reduce new HIV infections. Their efforts have resulted in many
life-saving interventions, including the implementation of
country-wide mother-to-child transmission prevention and
antiretroviral treatment programmes. The TAC also runs a
treatment literacy campaign: this is a training programme on
the science of HIV treatment and prevention.
The TAC's objectives are as follows:
Campaign for equitable access to affordable treatment for all
people with HIV/AIDS.
Campaign for and support the prevention and limination of all
new HIV infections.
Promote and sponsor legislation to ensure equal access to
social services for and equal treatment of all people with
HIV/AIDS.
Challenge by means of litigation, lobbying, advocacy and all
forms of legitimate social mobilisation, any barrier or obstacle,
including unfair discrimination, that limits access to treatment
for HIV/AIDS in the private and public sector.
Educate, promote and develop an understanding and
commitment within all communities of developments in
HIV/AIDS treatment.
Campaign for access to affordable and quality health care for
all people in South Africa.
Train and develop a representative and effective leadership of
people living with HIV/AIDS on the basis of equality and non-
discrimination irrespective of race, gender, sexual orientation,
disability, religion, sex, socio-economic status, nationality,
marital status or any other ground.
Campaign for an effective regional and global network
comprising of organisations with similar aims and objectives.
