Women and girls makes up about 14% of all casualties of
mines and explosive remnants of war. Why are you excluding male victims in regard to landmines and anti-personnel bombs that is left around after wars?
- ggm 8y agoChildren is gender neutral. But thanks for correcting my misapprehension about the relativities. What's the source so I can understand distribution to kids?
- belorn 8y agoI honestly just took the first google hit that gave the ratio, but digging a bit more and here is numbers from 2017 which was the most recent that I could find: http://www.the-monitor.org/en-gb/reports/2017/landmine-monitor-2017/casualties.aspx http://www.the-monitor.org/en-gb/reports/2017/landmine-monit... It bumps the number to 16% for women and girls. Children are 42%. Landmine and anti-personnel bombs are a major problem, especially for the poor which is more likely to be working farms or forests. An theory is that because of gender roles men and boys are more likely to be working in such areas while women in those nations tend to be more at home or in the village.
