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.

Gender and equity in Outcome Mapping
Dear all,
There is growing interest in addressing persistent and structural gender and social inequities in development and humanitarian programmes. Outcome Mapping is considered by some to be a particularly useful approach for planning and monitoring such efforts, yet there have been few examples or adaptations of OM for this purpose shared.
The Outcome Mapping Learning Community is hosting an e-discussion in July to bring to light experiences of community members of using OM in programmes addressing gender and social inequities.
To this end we invite you to answer two questions to indicate your interest in this e-discussion and let us know that you have experience to share. The form will be open until June 30th.

Kind regards,
Simon

I worked as a mentor and coach in gender responsive outcome mapping for DFID funded organisations here in Dar Es Salaam. This exercise was designed as a 2 year coaching and mentoring assignment for 6 organisations (Help Age, Equality for Growth, Norwegian Church Aid, HakiKazi Catalyst, Oxfam Tanzania, and Cafe Africa). Outcome Mapping was the framework on which the gender mainstreaming was approached. It was interesting and challenging in ways. Mainly because most of the clients were still trying to grasp what outcome mapping is all about, as well as getting to grips with what are the quick and easy aspects of gender mainstreaming to catch into.
But we all know, gender mainstreaming is a longer term process, which demands bundles of commitment from all engaged. So the exercise was indeed testing and interesting.
I would like to share more experiences from this engagement on any day.
