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.

Renuji, wow! I'm already looking forward to this report :)
I must say an evaluation when conducted in a participatory mode brings out gems of information as no one hesitates to share their experiences then.

Thanks Rituu and Sanghamitra.
You want to know about an evaluation that I found transformative both for myself and the evaluatees.... well, the last one that I did for HAQ and its partners on Prevention of Child Marriage. I learnt a lot about an issue that I had not engaged with viz. child marriage/Early Marriage/Forced Marriage. I was so impressed and inspired by the football team that Jabala has nurtured over the years - girls who resisted marriage sometimes even going through physical violence as a consequence. Their stories of resistance left me in awe of their courage and determination to pursue their own paths. It was a humbling experience. And the partners I believe learnt a lot from the participatory processes of evaluation - they could see their own programmes from a distance, because of my questions and the daily debriefing that we did. We did an exercise of looking at the issue of Child Marriage from multiple perspectives - child rights, sexual and reproductive rights, adolescents rights, feminism. There was so much excitement at making connections. And everyone was on a high at the end of this process.... We are writing about this evaluation in the compendium on feminist evaluations that ISST is bringing out so read more when it is ready.
Waiting for more comments. Renu

Dear Renuji,
Thanks for the crisp presentation...enjoyed it. You mention how the evaluation can be transformative for both those being evaluated as well as the evaluator. This particularly resonated with me. Please can you share an experience of an evaluation on the above. Also what kind of methodology can contribute to transformative and empowering evaluation? Thanks!
Warm greetings
Rituu
