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.

what is the systematization approach
Hi, Rituu asked me to tell something about the Shared Learning and Participatory Approach I'm working on... We called systematization!
The word systematization is used in several disciplines, mainly in the sense of classifying, ordering data and information, that is “placing them into a system”. However, as it is understood in Latin America, systematization is much more than classifying, ordering and documenting a case. It has to do with obtaining lessons from our interventions, or producing knowledge from practice.
It’s a sort of systemic approach in evaluation developed in Latin America that brings participatory research and evaluation into one methodological tool. It’s a sort of formative evaluation, an ex post assessment oriented to gain understanding and comprehension about the intervention process, mainly usful for development progras and projects.
One of the most representative concepts defines Systematization as "a participatory and thoughtful process of reflecting about a development experience to explain the logic of the intervention process, how external and internal factors influenced it and why it performed in this way. The main purpose is to draw lessons from action to improve future interventions".
There are just a few papers on this approach in English. We has recently publiched an article higlighting the main features and method.
