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.

Monitoring, Evaluating and Furtheirng Progress on Gender and Economic Equality and Women's Economic Empowerment

This paper, authored by me and supported by the Institute of Social Studies Trust, New Delhi GenderEconomicEqualityFinal%282%29.pdf observes that India seems largely on track on ‘formal equality’ in the economic sphere, with legislation on equal remuneration, inheritance rights of most women, sexual harassment at work places, maternity benefits, and a bill on paternity leave (yet to be passed), to name a few. Yet, barring women’s access to savings bank accounts in their names, women elected to PRIs, proportion of workers/ days of MGNREGS work and higher education, the milestones under SDGs/Beijing PFA and CEDAW may not be achieved by 2030 on other gender equality indicators. Gender gaps are the highest, and likely to be so into 2030, in the case of ownership of some assets, access to non-traditional vocational training , labour force participation rates, wages, income, consumption outcomes reflected in anemia and women's agency (membership in unions, cooperatives, boards of directors). In fact, the female labour force participation rate and income are declining and gender gaps in these are increasing, pointing to the contradiction that equality in gross enrollment in higher education is/ may not lead to equality in economic participation.
