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.

Evaluation Capacity Development & Gender: The Added Value of Open-Access Journals
Dear Colleagues,
I hope all is well. In one of my blogs posted on a variety of list-serves this past week (click here), I discussed the value added of open-access journals within the scope of evaluation capacity development programs aimed at encouraging practitioners (e.g., organizations M&E officers) to write about their evaluation work and get their articles published in peer-reviewed journals.
Below is the link that will give you access to one of such journals and which I suspect many of you are familiar with: Gender and Development. For those who are not aware of it, all the articles published in this journal are free thanks to the partnership established between the publisher and an international NGO. To access the journal's latest issue, please click on the following link:
Gender & Development March 2015 Issue
I particularly recommend two articles from the last issue:
- the first one (written by Kalpana Viswanath and Ashish Basu) on the use of a new mobile application to measure women's perception of safety in Indian cities, and
- the second one (written by Sara Ortiz Escalante and Bianca Guitéreez Valdivia) on the use of participatory methods to enhance women's participation in urban planning
Best of luck with all your Gender & Evaluation endeavours,
Michele
