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.

“Parliamentarians for Evaluation” Campaign
Parliamentarians EvalStories to Promote Demand and Use of Evaluation
With great success of holding the historical Global EvalYear Event at the Parliament of Nepal and launch of Global Parliamentarians Forum for Evaluation (GPFE), parliamentarians’ role in promoting evaluation culture has become more prominent. More than 450 delegates including parliamentarians, VOPE leaders, government officials, representatives of UN agencies, International organizations, private sector, donors, among others attended this historic event at the Parliament of Nepal.
The Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030) ensuring “No one left behind” and the Global Evaluation Agenda 2016-2020 (EvalAgenda 2020) reveal the need for redoubled efforts on advocacy for evaluation. In this context, the GPFE initiated the “Parliamentarians for Evaluation” Campaign inviting parliamentarians around the world to advocate for evaluation in the context of Agenda 2030 (SDGs) in line with the EvalAgenda 2020. The campaign will also highlight the importance of equity focused and gender responsive evaluation. The Campaign aims to document and widely disseminate, brief videos with key messages from parliamentarians to strengthen an enabling environment and to create an archive of shared knowledge for the global evaluation community.
Parliamentarians’ advocacy messages represent an invaluable resource for increasing the quality of demand and use of evaluation work. Against this backdrop we would like to warmly invite you to support this initiative by obtaining EvalStories from parliamentarians in your country. The videos we are looking for should contain responses, by parliamentarians, to the following questions:
1) Over the course of your mandate at the Parliament of your country, how evaluation has been helpful for evidence based policy making in the country?
2) How demand and use of evaluation can be strengthened to better influence the decision making processes for national public policies?
3) Given the SDG/ Agenda 2030 calls for “no one left behind”, how should national policies be evaluated with a social equity and gender equality lens? What are the mechanisms to ensure that “no one is left behind” in the process?
4) How do you see the future of evaluation in the next years? Which topics should gain most attention and why?
We specially invite Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPEs) and evaluation professionals to engage parliamentarians in the campaign. Please contact Jérôme Gandin, Campaign Manager jgandin@universalia.com for personalized invitations to parliamentarians and the campaign team for further support. For further information about the GPFE, please contact Ada Ocampo, aocampo@unicef.org or Asela Kalugampitiya aselakalugampitiya@yahoo.ie.
Our sincerest thanks for your commitment to the Parliamentarians for Evaluation Campaign. We look forward to sharing videos globally.
