Elton John and Annie Lennon head the list of celebrities who've signed a proclamation tied to today's (Friday's) 102nd International Women's Day.

Citing issues such as politicians calling some forms of rape legitimate, and the shooting of a Pakistani girl for attending school against the Taliban's wishes, the statement declares, "We won't accept violence. We can say enough is enough to violence against women and girls. We can provide better support for the survivors of abuse. We can ensure young people are educated about healthy relationships, and we can challenge sexism when we encounter it. Let's make our voices heard."
