Our Bodies Ourselves hosted its second Open House at Suffolk University, Boston, on February 10th. Displays, trivia questions, and printed materials all emphasized the feminist perspective that Our Bodies Ourselves brings to health and sexuality topics. Reporter Caleigh Askintowicz interviewed [Grace Koch](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/people/grace-koch), [Laura Prieto](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/people/laura-prieto), and [Anne Dufault](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/people/anne-dufault), as well as several students who were attending the event.

> The [OBOS website](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/) provides a library of free health and sexuality resources that uphold its definition of feminism. . . \[and\] Prieto connected OBOS’s original values to the need for feminism today.
> 
> “\[OBOS\] has always been very critical of capitalism, which now means being critical of big pharma and insurance companies and influencers who are only there to sell you wellness products, which is what a lot of women’s health unfortunately is,” said Prieto.

The article emphasizes student involvement in the OBOS research and review process, noting the care with which [OBOS content experts ](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/who-we-are/content-expert)scrutinize all content for accuracy before anything is added to the site. The current digital platform builds on the historical foundation of the "Our Bodies, Ourselves" books and global adaptations to provide publicly accessible resources online.
