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.

'No Room for Misinterpretation'
The jurisprudence of the CEDAW committee seem to be the least well known and the least referenced, compared to all of the other committees for the various human rights conventions. I'm determined to change this!
I'm preparing to write some articles which emphasize some key findings and judgements that the committee has made over the years. And where relevant highlight some of its failings.
While I was analysing the cases from the committee, I came across 2 really important rulings that I think should be known much wider. The two cases deal with different situations but both involve women affected by violence, and the completely inadequate response of the justice system to accommodate them. In the first case, Jallow v Bulgaria, CEDAW demands that States must provide proper access to services and the legal system by providing information in other languages and translation/interpretation especially for women who are migrants and affected by domestic violence. In the second case, RPB v Philippines, the State failed to provide proper access to the justice system for a very young women who used sign language and was a survivor of violence.
It struck me that these two important pieces of information, are actually available in only a few languages!. I work across languages every day, and many of the organisations I work with are very organised and prepared when it comes to working in multilingual contexts. Yet these incredibly important statements by the CEDAW committee are known by so few people.
So we're crowdsourcing the translation of two simple sentences - into as many languages as possible! We've received over 30 contributions so far and we'll continue to collect up as many translations as possible to disseminate them widely.
