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.

Final evaluation consultancy of women’s rights programme, in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda
[Re-posting to the discussion section, as advised by the Gender & Evaluation team]
The AWESOME partnership is seeking a consultancy team with members in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda to conduct a final evaluation. This evaluation is a critical learning and accountability opportunity for us to reflect on our five year programme.
AWESOME is an advocacy programme that aims to support women’s movements in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda to be strengthened, less fragmented and more representative of diverse groups of women, including women with disabilities (WWDs). We focus on two themes of sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) and women’s participation and leadership.
We are keen to hear from evaluators about their proposed evaluation methods. We would love to hear from teams that integrate a feminist evaluation lens and use participatory approaches to centre the voices, knowledge and lived/living experiences of diverse women. Intersectionality and inclusion of diverse women is important to us.
The deadline for proposals is 19 January 2025. We hope to begin the evaluation in February 2025.
