Women make up half of the population. The heart of the community beats the family s chest and the woman beats the life of the family. A woman, in the role of spouse or mother, is a key factor in maintaining and consolidating the family. The role of rural women is far beyond what was said. The role of rural women s activities in addition to housekeeping is more than 80% in agriculture and in the production of products such as rice, tea, cotton, vegetable and seafood. Loss of rural women s health, due to their key role in the family, leads to poorer households, resulting in increased poverty in society and a decline in the country s economic growth. This research was carried out in a review‐analytical way with the aim of reviewing studies in the field of rural women, health and sustainable household scarcity using library resources, Internet search, reviewing other sources such as related articles and journals. The results show that rural women are the most effective women in the society and active in productive jobs. Therefore, paying attention to the health of rural women as a powerful arm in providing sustainable livelihoods of the rural household leads to the development and development of the household and the community. Of course, cultural, social, and political variables should not be ignored, since each one can play a key role in improving the economic and health situation of individuals and society.
