In 2009, Emma Murphy discovered that the epilepsy medication she took during pregnancy had harmed her children. She and Janet Williams campaigned for 15 years, leading to a report recommending a compensation scheme for 20,000 British children exposed to the drug. They uncovered evidence showing the government's failure to warn about the drug's risks. The report suggested initial payments of £100,000 for victims. The women also formed In-Fact to support affected families.
