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.

New IWEPS working paper by Muriel FONDER and Síle O'DORCHAI on integrating cross-cutting dimensions into evaluations: from gender-sensitive evaluation to sustainability-sensitive evaluation
The persistent gender inequalities in all areas of our societies represent injustices that public policies must address. More broadly, in the face of climate change, overexploitation of natural resources, and inequalities between countries and individuals, the analysis of public policies and their evaluation must integrate all the social, economic, and environmental effects they generate. The purpose of this Working Paper is to highlight frameworks, approaches, tools, and methods that allow for the integration of the cross-cutting dimensions of gender and sustainable development in the evaluation of public policies. It aims to contribute to the adaptation of the discipline and the evaluation community to the major transformations that our society and policies are undergoing. Gender analysis matrices and approaches like ISE4GEMs (Inclusive Systemic Evaluation for Gender Equality, Environments, and Marginalized Voices present themselves as concrete toolkits that go beyond the rather conceptual level of gender mainstreaming or sustainable development. They are a means to facilitate the transformation of evaluators’ practices towards greater consideration of the complexity of public policies. Nevertheless, to promote an effective and lasting transformation of our society towards greater equality, inclusion, and sustainability, the involvement and commitment of all actors are paramount. Through knowledge sharing, critical reflection, and dialogue, which are at the heart of the ISE4GEMs approach, evaluation can initiate or lubricate the gears of a process of mutual learning. This process must be longterm and extend to the entire society to give the attention they deserve to gender issues, social inclusion, and the environment, alongside purely economic issues.
