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.

M&E toolkit for GBV projects in restrictive environments
Hi everyone,
War Child Canada and WRC (Women’s Refugee Commission) are collaborating to create a user-friendly toolkit detailing M&E practices that I/NGOs and CSOs can use for GBV projects in restrictive environments. The idea behind the toolkit is that it can serve as a user manual to guide partner organizations working on GBV projects for how to apply best practices for their M&E activities including indicator development, remote management, mobile data collection, and community feedback mechanisms. We’re building the toolkit based on the experiences of CSOs and I/NGOs and donors in South Sudan and Afghanistan as well as global best practices, and building in knowledge from existing resources.
If you’re interested in participating in an interview with us to discuss your experience and the experience of your organization/group, please contact me directly (morganne@warchild.ca). And please feel free to share this message out to your networks.
Finally, if you have any resource or tools that you use or find useful, please feel free to share those. We’ve done a scan of the available resources, but are interested in hearing from you about which tools and guides are actually most relevant for your work. Our goal is to build the toolkit based on the experience and best practice of practitioners, but in order to do that we need your insights!
If you have any questions or would like to chat more, please let me know and I’ll be happy to discuss.
Cheers,
-morganne

I am happy to speak to you sometime next week to talk about GBV bringing sexuality as an interface to it as well as intersectionality perspective. It would be good to know bit more about the objective of this evaluation.

Hi Madhumaita,
Thanks so much for reaching out! We aren't doing an evaluation for this project. Instead, the proejct is to create a toolkit/manual which details monitoring and evaluation practices that are used for GBV projects in restrictive environments. The toolkit will be an easy-to-use resource for CSOs/NNGOs/INGOs working on GBV programming in these types of environments. Does that help clarify our project?
