Astha Ramaiya [Co-author] Shared the Journal Article - Published in Child Abuse & Neglect, June 2026

A new systematic review published in Child Abuse & Neglect examined the link between mental health and technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse (TF-CSEA). Analysing 10 studies with over 25,000 participants across seven countries, researchers found that depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and prior trauma were consistently associated with victimisation. Crucially, the relationship appears bidirectional with mental health difficulties both preceding and resulting from exploitation; creating potential cycles of repeated harm. Perhaps most striking: traditional parental monitoring through technological surveillance showed limited protective effects. What actually mattered? The quality of parent-child relationships including, open communication, emotional warmth, and trust. The findings suggest prevention efforts should combine universal school-based programmes building emotional resilience with targeted support for high-risk youth, while parent education should prioritise connection over control. With 12.5% of children globally experiencing online solicitation annually, understanding these psychological pathways is essential for effective child protection.

Event Description

Hi everyone! I'm running my ethical (i.e. feminist!) AI training again in case anyone is interested! This is specifically for professionals who work in gender and social inclusion and want an introduction to machine learning and social inequalities!

Learn the basics, gain skills, and build confidence to engage in social impact projects with machine learning components. If you work in gender & social inclusion support, proposal development, program design, backstopping, and other non-technical areas, this training is for you. In this 5-day interactive online course, we will learn how machine learning algorithms operate, review development use cases, and explore challenges around bias, ethics, and inclusion. We will finish with best practices and examples of harnessing the power of machine learning for gender equity and social inclusion. This course will empower you to represent gender equality, social inclusion, diversity, and equity concerns and propose solutions in machine learning discussions in your organization.

Check out the full details at Cynara Ethical AI!

Session 1: Intro to AI, inequalities, and machine learning models

Session 2: The digital divide and data inequalities

Session 3: Fairness and bias metrics and ethics statements

Session 4: Moving to practice

Session 5: Toward Ethical AI in Practice

Note to participants: (1) no statistics required! We will work from conceptual and layperson understandings and (2) we will use examples from data-rich U.S. to understand ethical concerns before applying these to international development and social sector cases.
