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.

I find this very interesting. I am sure this the right way to go. However, I just want to highlight some areas that need to be addressed by development partners. They will be based on the five thematic areas.
QUESTIONS:
It is important to design evaluations in such a way that is gender friendly starting with the set of questions. However, some communities are so keen on NOT allowing the female gender to respond to surveyors requests. In cases where they are allowed, the customs are so stringent on the level of information that women can volunteer to the evaluators.
DESIGN
During evaluation design, a participatory method would be helpful. Here participation should not be restricted to only answering questions. The India Forest department rehabilitated forests by using women as key agents of change. They had a central role in the interventions in teh Panchayats.
JUDGEMENTS
Women's involvement is the validation and presentations of the results of an evaluation is key. One because they are human beings, members of the community and because they will offer a feminine eye in the report which as men we might overlook.
I will comment on others later

Hi! thanks for sharing the presentation very useful.
I am working for rural development for last 15 odd years. In rural India, women are overburdened by physical work and they work hard for a very little return. All our rural development programmes are planned in gender-sensitive manner and in the end of project we do all kind of audits and evaluations like Financial audits, Social audits and environmental audits and some of the evaluation. but I feel we should also have a gender-audit to see the impact of projects on women.. it could also used with the projects of industrialisation, constructions and all kind. Thanks and regards, Pramod
