We investigate the possibility of gravity localization on the brane in the context of supersymmetric theories. To realize this scenario one needs to find a theory with the supersymmetric flow stable in IR at two critical points, one with positive and the other with negative values of the superpotential. We perform a general study of the supersymmetric flow equations of gauged massless supergravity interacting with arbitrary number of vector multiplets and demonstrate that localization of gravity does not occur. The same conclusion remains true when tensor multiplets are included. We analyze all recent attempts to find a BPS brane-world and conclude that localization of gravity on the brane in supersymmetric theories remains a challenging but unsolved problem.
