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.

Global Cafe in Practice
During an interactive lecture given by Ms. Ritu Nanda on Knowledge Based management and evaluaiton at the National Institute on Labour, Economics and Man Power Research, we had an opportunity to practice Global Café. Four groups were formed that undertook the following questions?
Group 1.
How is knowledge captured? Is anything missed?
Group 2.
How is knowledge organised? Is everything accessible?
Group 3.
How is knowledge shared? Are all staff able and willing to be open with others?
Group 4.
How is knowledge used? What's in place to ground discussions in evidence where you work?
The groups were given 10 minutes to work on the various topics above. After 10 minutes every group left there workspace and went to check what other groups had tackled and added any information they thought the other group left out. This was done until all four groups had been to every workstation of all the each group. The following were the results of that activity:
HOW IS KNOWLEDGE CAPTURED?
