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.

A guide to develop key competencies and leadership skills for women in organizations
May I share with this community the note posted in the current issue of the IDEAS Newsletter, on my book in Spanish, "Mujeres, a liderar!... A nuestro modo: 5 habilidades clave para el poder y el éxito" (Women, to lead our way: 5 key skills for power and success). The English and Portuguese versions will be available shortly.
While this Spanish version is focused on Latin American & Caribbean cultural contexts for women leaders, it intends to support women in organizations worldwide. Men can also benefit from the leadership tips provided in the book.
It is based on my experiences in mentoring and leadership programs for women in organizations, as well as Feminist & Gender Transformative Evaluation capacity development programs conducted in different environments, with universal gender equality principles and leadership styles that may be applied anywhere to help overcome gender gaps in organizations.
The book is available in digital and paperback versions at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09898HRZ2.
I would appreciate your reviews and comments to help improve future editions of the book.
Thank you for your support!
