In 2001, women’s organizations adapting “Our Bodies, Ourselves” for their own countries gathered in the Netherlands for a three-day meeting to get acquainted, share strategies, and provide mutual support. The meeting was the first-ever opportunity for members of OBOS’s Global Network to come to know the faces and voices of collaborating partners (known until then only through email). Members swapped stories about the making and remaking of “Our Bodies, Ourselves” around the world, and shared their experiences developing content and creating outreach and advocacy initiatives.
