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.

How to reflect gender in development, humanitarian, educational and awareness raising projects.
I am excited to be a relatively new Board memeber of an asssociation of evaluators in the Czech Republic - the Czech Evaluation Society (see www.czecheval.cz). So many things are happening, including a new focus on gender!
About a year ago, I have been engaged in a debate of Czech evaluators if “non-tangible” aspects such as gender can be monitored and evaluated. So I wrote this blog.... and add some toolkits.
http://www.evaluace.com/can-gender-be-monitored-and-evaluated/
Eventually, we created a guide: How to reflect different roles, needs and priorities of women and men in development, humanitarian, educational and awareness raising projects. Currently, the guide is only available in Czech.
Instead, you can check some of my evaluations:
Preventing and Combating Child Trafficking in Ethiopia - see gender analysis on my web
Prevention and early detection of cancer in Georgia - I recommend reading at least a summary as well as the part on gender as a cross-cutting theme
I am excited to hear your feedback! Nice to be a new member of this platform!

Hi Rituu, I am afraid I have not encountered it except of the female/male participation at events. :)
