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 Proposals: Mid-Term Performance Evaluation for the Helping Survivors Heal Activity
The Center for Victims of Torture (CVT) is a U.S.-based non-governmental organization dedicated to creating a world without torture. Since our founding in 1985, we have evolved to provide culturally competent and interdisciplinary interventions to survivors of torture and trauma. We have served tens of thousands through trauma-focused services, enhancing the skills and resilience of human rights defenders while facilitating justice for survivors.
As part of our ongoing commitment to quality and accountability, CVT is seeking proposals from qualified evaluation consultants to conduct a Mid-Term Performance Evaluation (MTPE) for the Helping Survivors Heal (HSH) Activity. Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), this global capacity development program runs from October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2026, with a total budget of $17 million. The HSH Activity aims to enhance access to evidence-informed Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) services for survivors of torture through organizational capacity development and subgrants to twelve partner organizations worldwide.
The MTPE will focus on evaluating the performance of the HSH Activity to date, assessing progress towards intended outcomes, and offering recommendations for optimizing project management and support. We aim to understand how well the HSH supports partner organizations' capacity development needs and the efficiency of the implementation processes. The evaluation will commence in November 2024 and conclude by February 2025, requiring approximately 40 working days.
Interested consultants are invited to submit their proposals, which should include a technical proposal and a financial proposal, as outlined in the attached detailed Statement of Work (SoW). The technical proposal should contain a cover letter, CV(s), a description of the proposed methodology, a work plan and timeline, and should not include pricing information. The financial proposal should provide a clear breakdown of fees and expenses in U.S. Dollars.
We look forward to receiving your proposals and appreciate your interest in contributing to the important work of the HSH Activity.
