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.

Event Description
COVID-19 has resulted in a shadow pandemic worldwide - that of domestic violence. Yet we do not hear many testimonies of women with disabilities. They are again not visible in official data on violence, or in social discussions of the shadow pandemic. We therefore bring to you the perspective of and on women with disabilities and the violence they are facing in their homes during this very difficult time. Domestic violence has always been an issue, and it will continue in various forms even after COVID 19, but what is important is that we see and recognise it now more urgently than ever.
