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.

Evaluating our work through a power lens
Colleagues, I thought you might find interesting this learning brief put together by a number of groups who participated in Comic Relief's Power Up peer learning initiative. It describes a few very different ways of addressing power in evaluation - one by an organisation's constituents; the other by a funder. It is attached but also at
Both drew on a framework I put together drawing on work of other feminists on how to identify different dimensions of power in movement-building and advocacy, which is also in the doc.
With best wishes for the year,
Barbara Klugman
