How Has OBOS Formed Partnerships With Groups Interested in Using content from “Our Bodies, Ourselves”?

The OBOS Global Initiative worked with grassroots and institutional women’s organizations that have identified “Our Bodies, Ourselves” as a key resource for improving health outcomes and have requested permission to translate and culturally adapt it for their own communities or countries.

OBOS has never solicited or commissioned a project. Instead, organizations interested in using OBOS content reached out to OBOGI and started projects only after completing a comprehensive application process designed to help OBOS understand their goals and capacity.

The application process has generally involved extensive conversation with potential partners, and only upon receiving approval from OBOS have they worked on transforming “Our Bodies, Ourselves” into a meaningful tool for local education and action.
