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.

Adolescent-Led Review of the Magic Classroom Project and Community Preschool Playgrounds in Cambodia
UNICEF Cambodia recently completed its first Adolescent-Led Review!
This review looked at Magic Classroom, a health, nutrition as well as on water, sanitation and hygiene, activity that teaches lessons on healthier practices, such as hand washing with soap. It also looked at the community preschool playgrounds.
By engaging groups of 15 to 19-year-old students to perform data collection and analysis, the review was able to gain information and insights that would not have been possible with an external, adult evaluator. For more information on this review and how to engage young people in the evaluation process, check out the attached brief. You can also watch a fan video at the following link:

Hi Erica,
Loved it. I do this kind of work. I had question on the methodology- which stage of evaluation you could not involve the adolescents?
What value did adolescents' participation bring to the evaluation.
Congratulations to all involved,
Rituu
