The Nutritional status of women in Pakistan is not homogenous, because of the interconnection of gender with other forms of exclusion in the society. There is considerable diversity in the nutritional status of women across classes, regions in the rural/urban divide due to un-even socioeconomic development in the impact of nutritional status on income generating activities. Socioeconomic and cultural factors simultaneously influence both women's nutritional status and their nutritional related roles. The main objectives of the present study were: to investigate the socioeconomic and cultural characteristics of rural women, to find out the women's nutritional status and their role/participation in income generating activities.
