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
UNDP-UNICEF Joint Dialogue: Gender-based Violence and Technology,
With the exponential increase in gender-based violence since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a rise in the use of the mobile and web-based technology to support survivors of gender-based violence. However, privacy and security issues linked to the use of such tools, if ignored, can undermine their effectiveness and compound the risks faced by women. Moreover, women in the Europe and Central Asia and Asia-Pacific regions, like in most parts of the world, have less access to technology than men. Drawing on the work of practitioners and experts, this policy dialogue will focus on the relationship between gender equality and technology, paying particular attention to the digital gender gap, the use of technology in addressing gender-based violence and related privacy and security issues.
The joint UNDP and UNICEF webinar, covering 2 regions, will address the following:
- Risks, opportunities, benefits and challenges relating to the use of technology in addressing gender-based violence during and beyond COVID-19 pandemic;
- The existing gender gaps in access to digital devices and information;
- Solutions for the use of web-based technology to combat GBV during and post COVID-19 pandemic;
- Good practices in harnessing technology solutions for combating gender-based violence.
