flag Women exposed to DES during pregnancy demand UK government inquiry and compensation for health damage.

flag Women exposed to DES, a synthetic estrogen given to pregnant women from the 1940s to 1970s, are demanding a public inquiry and better medical support after decades of suffering. flag Survivors like Susie Martin, who has had 20 to 30 surgeries, report severe health issues including infertility and increased cancer risks. flag Campaigners, including DES Justice UK with over 500 members, say the UK lacks a formal support system compared to the U.S. and Netherlands. flag Health Secretary Wes Streeting has acknowledged the government’s failure and urged affected individuals to consult their GP, but campaigners insist only a statutory inquiry and compensation can deliver justice.
