The National Centre for Child Protection offers a free 24 x 7 x 365 service (via SMS, WhatsApp or phone call) to any child, parent, teacher, grandparent or any other person, to report child abuse, neglect, bullying, trafficing or any other action that impacts children in South Africa.

In 2020 Carla Strauss, alongside her former One Voice members, collaborated with Child Protection Hotline by writing an anti-bulling anthem. This collaboration was part of a broader initiative with the Child Protection Hotline, aimed at raising awareness and providing support to victims of bullying as well as other abuse. After meticulous development and refinement, the song was officially released in 2022, featuring poignant vocal performances by Carla and fellow One Voice alumnus, Kalinka Kilian.

The track is a resonant call to action, imbued with both the personal experiences and shared commitments of its creators to foster kindness and support among youth. It is availabe across all major digital streaming platforms and all proceeds generated from the song and its related content are directed to the Child Protection Hotline.

Additionally, the power of the song is visually captured in an evocative music video, which can be viewed through the link below.
