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.

DEALING WITH POWER ISSUES IN EVALUATION, PERSPECTIVES FROM LATIN AMERICA: OUR SESSION AT THE AEA CONFERENCE
Power is a key though tricky issue in evaluations, which becomes even trickier and sometimes gets hidden in multicultural complex contexts in Latin America. On one hand, social change implies changing unequal power relations, and on the other, power relations are inevitably present in all interactions during the evaluation process.
With the goal to promote greater South-North dialogue on evaluations, and based on our professional evaluation experiences in countries like Bolivia and Guatemala, last Saturday we shared our reflections, lessons and proposals on dealing with power issues in evaluation at the 2015 Conference of the American Evaluation Conference in Chicago.
We proposed evaluators to “step back and step down” and, at the same time, become activists of social change. We also proposed a “Power Blindness Wheel”, as a model that identifies niches where power may “hide” during evaluations; we shared tips to disentangle power relations in the process. We finally invited the audience to “take off our own lenses in order to see new things”.
We are pleased to share our presentations with the EvalGender+ community, and eager to receive your comments and feedback!
