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.

The council will be hosting 4 sessions:

Overview of the Roundtable:
Women’s participation in the workforce is a crucial measure of empowerment and societal progress. However, despite notable advancements, the gap in gender parity in economic participation remains persistent. This roundtable discussion seeks to address the multifaceted challenges that Indian women face in their employment choices while highlighting grassroots solutions that promote financial empowerment from the ground up.
Key Discussion Points:
How do women navigate their economic participation decisions?
How do women define economic empowerment in their own contexts?
What role does a bottom-up approach play in empowering women, especially in the informal sector?
