DES Info 
Thank you for posting and sharing this great news! As a French DES daughter, I feel very proud that a French DES activist who has given so much to the DES cause will receive this well deserve high distinction. This recognition is not only for Anne Levadou, but all her team and all those who like Anne never give up … I am grateful for the support she gave to my mum when she needed it most and for her dedication and commitment to identify, educate, provide support to, and advocate for DES-exposed individuals as well as educate health care professionals. She’s a true inspiration to me and for all women.
