Landmine Injuries And Human Rights: The Terminology Of Victims And Survivors, Cameron Macauley
Landmine Injuries And Human Rights: The Terminology Of Victims And Survivors, Cameron Macauley
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
“The words victim and survivor are not interchangeable. The word victim refers to someone who is the object of abuse and as such implies helplessness. It is correct to use victim when discussing someone who is injured by a landmine, but not someone who is in the process of recovering, since we do not consider that person to be helpless.”
