Stunting has become a global priority program. In 2024 Indonesia intends to reduce the prevalence of stunting. Studies show that there is a relationship between women's empowerment and children's nutritional status. This study was conducted to identify women's empowerment variables that are used as assessment indicators in several scientific publications that have been carried out. This study uses a systematic literature review from electronic data sources that can be accessed and published from the Scopus database portal, a systematic review is carried out using the Prisma flow technique. The variables used to assess women's empowerment include women's ability to make decisions, including decisions to buy something, access health services, and other productive decisions, education level, economic level, employment, acceptance of violence, age, participation in the community, ability to communicate with partners, and confidence to speak and express opinions. Reducing the prevalence of stunting can start by building a society that is aware of equality from the individual and family level, providing opportunities for women to have the ability to make strategic decisions, and having sufficient knowledge and resources for children's nutritional needs.
