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.

documentation on effective programmes on education for girls with disabilities
Dear all,
I am doing a desk research on barriers to education for girls with disabilities and any effective programmes and interventions that have addressed or are looking promising in addressing those barriers. This would include interventions on safety and quality education school-retaed GBV, early identification, access to vocational training and transition from primary to secondary; rehabilitation, engagement with families on disabled girls in education etc.
Would any of you have documentation of such experience, or could you point me to anything you have seen, or connect me with anyone who is working on such programmes?
Thank you for your help
Karen

This upcoming workshop 3/29/17 was just posted by the Alliance for Girls in San Francisco: Building your capacity as an ally for girls with disabilities. Contact Ingrid Tischer at itischer@dredf.org.
Since 2011, cross–disability advocacy and policy has been her ever–changing but exciting focus at Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund (DREDF). Because she grew up resisting the idea that disability = charity, the opportunity to be a social justice fundraiser with a disability is as much about upending stereotypes as it is about resource development. As a crip, she wants the members of her traditionally excluded and highly diverse community to be recognized as the contributors they are to a just society.
Her blog Tales From the Crip features disability cultural and political critique, and commentary. Her writing has also appeared in The Progressive, Ragged Edge, off our backs, and other outlets. She holds a Bachelors degree in Philosophy from The American University.
