In late 2021 and early 2022, both groups worked together on forming a "joint platform". In March 2022, coalitions from both groups met at Neve Midbar Beach on the Dead Sea for a peace conference. The conference was decried by the General Union of Palestinian Women, who said it was "normalizing" the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, and called Women of the Sun a "fictitious" organization.

On October 4, 2023, just days before the onset of the 2023 Israel-Hamas war, the two groups organized a peace march in Jerusalem, from the Monument of Tolerance to the Armon Hanatziv neighborhood.
