Civilian mine victims often die from loss of blood. Children, in particular, are less likely to survive mine injury because their small bodies are more vulnerable. There is evidence that more women tend to die from landmine injury than men, and that women tend to be more badly injured than men (because they often weigh less than men). Death may result from a lack of transport to medical help or because rescuers detonate another mine near the victim. In certain cultural contexts, it has been argued that women mine victims are less likely to receive medical assistance than men.
