flag Over 300 DES victims demand a UK public inquiry over decades of harm from a cancer-linked drug.

flag Over 300 victims of the DES "silent scandal," including women who took the drug and their children and grandchildren, are demanding a UK public inquiry. flag The synthetic estrogen, linked to cancers and reproductive issues, was used until 1978 despite US warnings in 1971. flag While the US and Netherlands offer compensation, the UK has none. flag Victims say they were misled by doctors and ignored by authorities, suffering decades of harm. flag The MHRA acknowledged a 1973 letter failed to clearly warn against DES use and apologized for the resulting distress. flag Advocates call for a statutory inquiry to uncover government and medical failures and deliver justice.
