Header This year, the BPF on Gender and Access is looking at Internet-related policy processes and spaces through a feminist approach, to determine whether and how they protect and foster participation of women and gender-diverse people. The focus (as described in the work plan) is placed on Internet-related policy processes and spaces that foster discussions or develop policies, recommendations, and/or guidelines that focus on (a) limiting violence and harm in the online space and (b) fostering the use of the Internet for self-expression and pleasure with consent as a guiding principle. In line with this, we intend to: Look at whether and how the BPF thematic issues (violence, harm, pleasure and consent online) have been brought up at the IGF since IGF 2016 Identify regional policy processes and spaces (if any) that tackle the BPF thematic issues (from a gender-diversity perspective) For this part of the BPF work, we invite you to respond to this survey by 20 September 2020.
