Gendered impacts 

Introduction

This report documents how explosive ordnance contamination is experienced across all nine townships of Chin State, Myanmar, with particular attention to gendered patterns of exposure, access to information, and post-incident support. It draws on survey data from 175 respondents, nineteen focus group discussions, and thirteen key informant interviews conducted between December 2025 and May 2026 by Chin researchers working within their own communities. The study takes place against the backdrop of active armed conflict, mass displacement, and the near-total collapse of formal humanitarian access following the 2021 military coup.
