• WEAI scores associated with income (-) and education (primary [-], secondary [+])
• Strongest associations between WEAI and the hunger score and diet quality indicators
• Unclear relationships between WEAI and children’s nutritional status
• Women’s empowerment is only one piece of the puzzle – other intervening factors are likely to influence the desired outcomes
