One of the avenues SWO promotes global human rights is through the publication of a quarterly newsletter and books, focusing on contemporary and historical issues facing women universally. Many publications are written by the numerous scholars, writers, peacemakers, and organizers involved with the organization.

Women's Wisdom:
Women in Action Conference
Women's Interfaith Conference
This is a compilation of selected presentations by several speakers at the Annual Sufi Women Organization Women's Interfaith Conference on the general topic of Ethics and Values. It is a most important contribution to women and all humanity because it brings together women of different faith traditions whose work reflects a united vision of ethics and values. As Dr. Nahid Angha writes: " A human being is the essence of societies, cultures and nations and each one is the foundation of a civilization. Every human being is a universe and every woman is a teacher of that universe. She is the one who holds the key to a just or corrupt society, as she is the first teacher of any leader." These women writers express their faith and belief in ethics and values that serve to unite humanity.
