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.

Defining Participation in Evaluation for CSO's
However, the standards of participation are varied which means whose voices are heard are inconsistent. CSO often need to advocate for the marginalised but must also negotiate the process of which actors are involved. Many stakeholders have different incentives and risks with the evaluation process. CSO’s negotiating their cooperation while advocating for the participation of marginalised communities can be political. To help with the evaluation community, Josephine Tsui and Rituu B. Naanda are interviewing selected CSO’s to explore these questions further.
Here are our research questions:
1) Please tell me about you organisation and how you and the organisation is involved in evaluations.
2) How do you define a useful evaluation?
3) Can you talk to us more about who participates in evaluations? How do they participate? Who does the information serve?
4) What value does the evaluation serve?
5) What barriers are there to ensure evaluations are more useful?
If you are interested in participating, please get in touch.

Excited and greatful to see this initiative. For many involving the voices of stakeholders and CSOs means having them in the same room to share the evaluation design and tools which are mostly been developed by us. This study will surely go beyond this and capture what does involvement means.
I would also be interested
- how are the CSOs and stakeholders involved, contributing and shaping the analysis, as much of what we share externally are done at this stage - it's a power game.
- what does participation or involvement means - are there spaces where CSOs and stakeholders leading the front?
Best wishes
Madhumita
