Abstract

Background: Although in the last few years there has been an increasing attention to the problem of landmines, to date, the implications of WOMEN being victims of landmine has not been duly dealt with in the world including IRAN, which is estimated to be the second most landmine infested country in the world. Still, provinces by the west border of IRAN, 18 years after cessation of Iraq-Iran WAR suffer from the burden of vast areas, highly infested with landmines. This study aimed to provide a gender focused insight into landmine accidents in IRAN.Methods: In this retrospective study, WOMEN with documented deaths or injuries due to landmine and/or unexploded ordnances (UXO) explosions as documented in their medical records between Jul 1988 (after ceasefire) and Feb 2003 were studied in 5 western provinces of IRAN. Data was analyzed by SPSS for Windows Version 11.P value under 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: During the 14-year study period, 252 WOMEN from 5 western provinces of IRAN were reported to have injuries or death due to landmine and UXOs. All of the victims were civilians and the majority of them (47.6%) had one or more amputations. Most of them were injured in the period between1994 and 1998. The majority of the patients were young.Conclusion: WOMEN who should take care of themselves as well as their families are more prone to sufferings inflicted by landmines and UXO.
