Abstract: This paper reviews the study on the impact of female empowerment on children's nutritional status. We found that women's degree of empowerment is assessed through multidimensional approaches, distinguishing between a few fields: decisionmaking, husband-partner violence, women's attitude towards the use of power, etc. Each domain comprises many questions that represent various facets of empowerment. No clear conclusion could be drawn regarding the possible impact of women's empowerment on children's nutritional status. But the household's material wealth, mother's education level and BMI are positively linked to children's nutritional status, which in the child, too, is higher, finally, the nutritional status of children. In most areas, this nutritional status is lower in rural areas.
