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

As the world grapples with the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a shadow pandemic of violence against children is quickly emerging. Calls to child helplines and domestic violence hotlines, point to a spike in levels of violence since stay-at-home measures were put in place.
These trends are consistent with data from past humanitarian and economic crises. Faced with limited data, we must rely on existing data to prevent and respond to violence against children during and after the pandemic. To estimate levels of violence during COVID-19, it is important to know to understand the magnitude and nature of violence against children before the pandemic. Data from the Violence Against Children and Youth Surveys (VACS), population-based household surveys, show that children and youth already experienced high rates of physical, sexual and emotional violence, with often devastating immediate and long-term consequences. National governments lead the implementation of the VACS, with support from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of the Together for Girls (TfG) partnership. We now have data for over 20 countries and approximately 10% of the world’s population under 24. The VACS generate data for children, adolescents, and young people on the prevalence and incidence of physical, sexual, and emotional violence as well as risk and protective factors, consequences of violence, and access to services. Currently, 10 countries have made their VACS datasets publicly available for secondary analyses. Researchers and practitioners can request access to the datasets through Together for Girls. The available data can help answer important research questions and further our understanding of violence against children. The availability of the datasets for additional analyses is especially important in light of COVID-19 and the significant barriers to primary data collection.
