Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

The DHS website provides do files to match the standard tables in the final reports as well as the indicators (https://github.com/DHSProgram). However, we cannot prepare a do file for your specific study.

I agree with thinking of children as your cases, rather than women, and using the KR file. Your outcome could be whether the child survived, as predicted by the empowerment variables and place of residence. You would need to control for a number of other covariates. It could be easier if you focus on neonatal mortality (b7=0) and use logit regression. Good luck with your research.
