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.

I do not know of any project, but I was thinking that you need a case to work on it. There are papers that have studied rape through studying a case. Now, if you want to work on a case, then it should accessible since you would like to look at it from an anthropological approach.

Please let me know if you are unable to access it, I can share my copy of the article with you.

Hey Akanksha , Thanks a lot for the reply. I was unable to open the folder. I dont have access to JSTOR. I am currently doing the research independently so yes dependent on people sharing the folders with me. I was intrigued by this phenomena about how we in india do not have any research work done on rape and anthropology why do men rape? . I recently came across Janaki Lenin's work on anthropology of Rape in animal kingdom. and the whole thought got triggered from there.

Thanks Jasmine, I am sure Janaki Lenin's article would make an interesting read. Your research will definitely make an important contribution to a less researched area in the anthropology of gender and politics, in fact. Also, I can share my copy of Helliwell's article with you on drop box or through email. My email id is akanksha@feministevaluation. org
Please feel free to get in touch, in case you want this article or other material in the anthropology of gender. Its always great to be able to share resources :)

Hi Jasmine/Akansha, in addition to the brillient piece by Helliwell- i find the work of Prem Chowdhry on gender based violence and her exploration of the concept of 'izzat' quite useful. Most of her work though focuses on north India/Haryana to be specific and has been published in EPW. The one i remember from the top of head is a paper called Enforcing Cultural Codes-Gender and Violence in Northern India. Hope this helps!!
