Transnational Efforts
The Union has, on occasion, worked with groups from different states and has called upon the United Nations and European Union for action. In 2013 the group demonstrated via sit-in at the Damascus Quarters of the United Nations, along with fellow women's groups based in Palestine and Iraq, to speak out against the United States' calls for intervention. In 2011 the group petitioned the UN and EU to respond to terrorist attacks within the country and to the rape and murder of four girls by terrorist groups. The General Union of Syrian Women used this protest to speak out against foreign powers that provided aid to rebel groups, whom the women identified as terrorists. In the same year the group also worked with a delegation of Turkish women to aid them in dispelling rumors about Syria and to help the union to work against foreign powers attempting to take control of the embattled country and undermine its sovereignty. These incidences demonstrate a continued anti-interventionist stance by the group and a promotion of the nation's ability to self-govern.

The General Union of Syrian Women called on UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in 2011 to act in response to reports of the rape of Syrian women in Turkish refugee camps, citing the Fourth Geneva Convention, article 27. As of March 2016 as many as two million Syrian women and children were living in Turkey and many of those face risk of sexual exploitation and harassment, due in part to Syrian refugee women's lack of resources. As of September 19th 2016, 193 members of the UN signed an agreement to organize a protocol for how states treat refugees with a goal of addressing sexual violence against these communities among other objectives.
