== 2015 Work ==

BPF Gender's first intersessional activity in 2015 was dedicated to online abuse and gender-based violence. At the IGF [[MAG]] meeting in Geneva, Switzerland (May 2016), participants analyzed the progress of BPF's 2015 initiatives. The meeting concluded with a unanimous commitment to continued intersessional work and the study of gender-based challenges on and within the [[Internet]].

BPF Gender produced a comprehensive report<ref>[http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/best-practice-forums/657-bpf-handbook/file BPF Gender Report 2015. Retrieved 26 Sep 2016.]</ref> of its findings and achieved this through a bottom-up process involving a diversity of stakeholders within Internet governance. Members completed and disseminated a survey, attended virtual group meetings, and developed multiple drafts for comments and research purposes.

At the IGF 2015 conference held in João Pessoa, Brazil, BPF Gender held a 90-minute session lead by [[Jac Kee]] to discuss the its findings and recommendations for further research. <ref>[http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/filedepot_download/3406/27 BPF Gender & Access 2016.
