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.

Request for evaluations on SABLA
Dear Friends,
I am exploring the possibility of doing a meta evaluation on SABLA, Rajiv Gandhi Scheme for Empowerment of Adolescent Girls (RGSEAG) and was looking for evaluations on it. SABLA is a centrally sponsored program of Government of India initiated on April 1, 2011 under Ministry of Women and Child Development that covers adolescent girls 11-18 years.
I would appreciate information on where to access the SABLA evaluation reports. Please do share links to any such reports. I am aware that some of the evaluations may not be in the public domain and would be happy to communicate with organizations willing to share their reports.
Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you,
Sonal Zaveri, PhD
