Mental health and psychological vulnerabilities in the context of technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and abuse: A systematic evidence review, By - Sabrina Page and Et.al.,

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.

Rigorous Impact Evaluations on Programs to end violence against women

Hello All,

I am a consultant currently based in New Delhi working on a report on Violence Against Women in South Asia.

Do you know of any GBV/VAW programs that have been evaluated independently and rigorously in any South Asian countries? I am trying to prepare a database of impact evaluations for programs targetting VAW in the region. If anyone knows of any tips or can point me in the direction of any programs/evaluations or even resource persons that might be more knowledgeable on this in South Asia, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

Many, many thanks in advance for your help on this matter!

Hello Tanya- It is too bad there are no large repositories that are free and online. There is a report from 2006 that is an overview, but not specific enough I am afraid.

Hello All,

I am now fully immersed in this process so thanks for your help. I will be happy to share what I find. This report commissioned by the World Bank will be out in the spring of next year.

I have noticed very few Randomized Control trials on projects specific to VAW/GBV, but maybe VAW is a component/outcome that is measured through other projects such as women's empowerment, employment, livelihood programs etc? Just a hunch cos I do not have research on this. But do you know of any of these that tackle VAW more indirectly in any of the eight South Asian countries?
