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.

Macro evaluation of DFID's Empowerment and Accountability and Strategic Vision for Girls and Women policy frames
I'm working with Itad to share the findings of the recently launched macro evaluations of DFID's work on Empowerment and Accountability and the Strategic Vision (SV) for Girls and Women.
We have just launched a new platform containing our early findings including info graphics which provide interesting insight into DFID's E&A and SV portfolios http://www.itad.com/knowledge-and-resources/dfids-macro-evaluations/
As part of this work, we have also developed the first public database of projects under DFID’s Empowerment and Accountability and Strategic Vision for Girls and Women policy frames. The database, compiled as part of macro evaluations, includes 529 projects relevant to the two policies. As an openly available resource, the database is accessible to anyone wishing to learn more about DFID’s work in these two policy areas and search projects supported. http://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/webdatabases4/Intro.aspx?ID=13
