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.

Launching 'Livelihood Strategies' : A Knowledge Bank of Sustainable Livelihood Interventions
Launching livelihoodstrategies.org
Everyday in our endeavors as development professionals, researchers, policy makers, government representatives. we come across strategies that work for the poor, and some which don't. However there are lessons to be learned from all of these interventions. The Development CAFE has started a Knowledge Bank to record and document list of both macro and micro level sustainable livelihood interventions around the world. The purpose of this portal is to serve as a 'quick reference' data bank to learn from others successes as well as failures in implementing livelihood interventions for the poor.
We envision the site will be used by people like you to record your successes as well as lessons learned in the field in implementing your projects on livelihood improvement. So if some one else is planning a similar activity they can visit the site and learn from you, or connect and collaborate with you.
So visit the site today and post your interventions. The site is a living document with crowd sourced information using the Ushahidi platform.
We are now launching the Beta version any feedback on improvement of the site, addition of categories etc, please do not hesitate to contact us through the website contact form or directly mailing us livelihoods (at) dev-cafe (dot) org
