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.

Call for contributions - Good practice and Lessons-Learned in Gender Responsive Evaluation in the framework of the SDG and Beijing+25
Dear Colleagues,
UN Women Independent Evaluation and Audit Services (IEAS) is planning to publish a Good practices and Lessons-Learned in Gender Responsive Evaluation in the framework of the SDG+5 and Beijing+25. The knowledge product will highlight good practices on how evaluations with gender-lens are impactful in tacking the structural barriers and social norms for gender equality against the twelve critical areas of concern identified in the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA):
- Women and poverty
- Education and training of women
- Women and health
- Violence against women
- Women and armed conflict
- Women and the economy
- Women in power and decision-making
- Institutional mechanisms for the advancement of women
- Human rights of women
- Women and the media
- Women and the environment
- The girl-Child
In addition to UN Women evaluations, we would like to feature good practices and innovative initiatives from other UN system entities, national partners and broader evaluation communities. Having a mix of lessons and examples from different partners will give a richer perspective of how gender-responsive evaluation can drive the implementation of the SDGs, and BpfA. We also plan to widely disseminate the good practices through various channels to potentially inform ongoing discussions around the SDGs and Beijing +25 review.
Given this, we would really appreciate if your organization could share with us 2-3 recent evaluation reports preferably completed in 2017 and 2018/2019 with special focus on 1) evaluations with strong gender-responsive methods and approaches; and 2) innovative initiatives to systematically capture gender-results in evaluation practice.
Please share with us your inputs in the following format :
