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 included in SDG Outcome document
Dear colleagues,
(for additional info click http://www.unevaluation.org/mediacenter/newscenter/newsdetail/113 )
The outcome document of the United Nations Summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda, "Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", is now available. It was agreed to by consensus by Member States on Sunday, 2 August 2015. The United Nations summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda will be held from 25 to 27 September 2015, where world leaders will gather at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City to renew their commitment to development and adopt the new development agenda.
In 2015, the global evaluation community celebrates the International Year of Evaluation to advocate and promote evaluation and evidence-based policy making at international, regional, national and local levels. For the international evaluation community, what is particulay exciting is that "evaluation" was integrated in this new Agenda, in the "follow-up and review" section. It indicates that the follow-up and review processes of implementation of the post-2015 Development Agenda will be informed by country-led evaluations and data (paragraph 74G). It also calls for strengthening national evaluation capacity (paragraph 74H).
We are proud to say that UNEG, with support from our partners, played a critical role in advocating on the importance of evaluation during the intergovernmental negotiations. This is another important milestone for UNEG and the international evaluation community, following the stand-alone United Nations General Assembly Resolution, "Capacity building for the evaluation of development activities at the country level", which was adopted in December 2014 (click for more information).
This is an important period for all of us. Let us continue to join hands to promote evaluation for better development results.
Best regards
Marco Segone Director, Independent Evaluation Office, UNWomen Chair, United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) Co-chair, EvalPartners 220 East 42nd street (between 2nd and 3rdAvenue), Room 2164 (21st floor) – 10017 New York, USA E-mail: marco.segone@unwomen.org
