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.

Looking for support on developing capacity on gender responsive M&E

Hi, 

I was wondering if there is/are any institutions that provide training to gender experts on gender responsive monitoring and evaluation. Does it exist, or would a monitoring and evaluation expert do the job if they work with gender experts? 

cheers

Dear Seble,

The African Gender & Development Evaluation  Network (AGDEN) does just that - provides training on gender & human rights responsive training.

We are a continental network but can organise training for an institution if required. If you wish to pursue this please email me at florence.etta@gmail.com.  

I see the World Bank document sent to you. In my humble opinion it is very dated i.e. old although it is useful it is long and does not sufficiently give much how-to help.  

The resources that Awour has posted are also quite useful.

Do let me know if you wish to continue this conversation.

Cheers,

Florence Etta

Dear Dr. Etta,

Thanks for the reminder about AGDEN Training. How could I forget our AGDEN surely?

I hope Seble will be able to get in touch with you about the AGDEN Training.

Cheers!

Hi

World Bank manual on Gender Issues in Monitoring and Evaluation is exhaustive one.

Thanks

Exhaustive but surely dated!!!
It uses the phrase 'gender sensitive' when the discourse has moved on to more active words and talk!
