Mental health and psychological vulnerabilities in the context of technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse: A systematic evidence review, By - Sabrina Page and Et.al.,

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.

Request for evaluations of economic empowerment of women and girls interventions

Dear colleagues

I work for the UK Department for International Development's (DFID) Evaluation Department, which has commissioned a review of evaluations relating to the economic empowerment of women and girls. The main objective is to support improved capacity to undertake quality evaluations in this programmatic area by reviewing the trends, gaps in evaluation activity, as well as the strengths and weaknesses, appropriateness and execution of the methods used.

The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and Social Development Direct (SDD) have been commissioned to undertake this piece of work.

In order to enable a comprehensive review of evaluations in this area, we would be very grateful if you could help us by sending any relevant published and unpublished documents relating to evaluations your organisation has commissioned or conducted (including ToR, inception reports, approach papers, finalised reports etc) of economic empowerment of women and girls programmes OR evaluations which include a measurement of economic empowerment of women and girls as an outcome/impact. Please send all evaluations to Paola Pereznieto, the project manager at ODI: p.pereznieto@odi.org.uk and cc Harri Lee (H-Lee@dfid.gov.uk) by Sunday 9th June.

Please also let me know if you'd like to hear more about the review.

Thank you and best wishes,

Harri

Comment by Vahista Dastoor on July 3, 2013 at 9:44: Hi Harri, and all others commenting on this post,

I recently visited an NGO working on economic and social rural development - they are very aware of the huge gender gap in their interventions, and hope to give this a big push in the coming years. I'd be happy to know what emerges in your review. In fact, if any of you can point me to sources where I can look at practical approaches that have worked or reasons why they've not worked - that would be great.

Shipra, which scheme are you referring to?

Comment by Rituu B Nanda on June 7, 2013 at 18:08: Hi Harri,

We at ISST have recently finished a meta-evaluation of evaluations of projects on women economic empowerment. I would be eager to share and exchange the methodology, challenges and use of evaluation findings. I am happy to connect on Skype. Have a great weekend.

Thanks!
