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.

SDGs need interlinked indicators, monitoring & evaluation
Hello,
I am delighted to share the second briefings on SDG Evaluation with some clear policy pointers that would help policymakers, advisors evaluators and other practitioners engaged in the evaluation of the Sustainable Development Goals, as advocated by Agenda 2030.
The briefing "Counting critically: SDG ‘follow-up and review’ needs interlinked indicators, monitoring and evaluation" (July 2016) builds on the first, introduces key considerations for the use of indicators, monitoring and evaluation of SDGs implementation and highlights the importance of context-sensitivity, broad stakeholder involvement and adaptive management approaches in efforts to achieve development results. It can be downloaded from http://pubs.iied.org/17363IIED
This is the second of a series of briefings that are developed by EVALSDGs and published by IIED. They are both available here: http://pubs.iied.org

Thanks for posting Kassem. I liked the factors you have highlighted - keeping the context in mind, stakeholder engagement and adaptive management. Would you have any methodology you have employed for adaptive management?
A stakeholder I would like to add here- the communities. Can we meaningfully bring them into the dialogue.Often community engagement is limited to tokenistic consultations.
