54’000 women face pregnancy discrimination at work every year, so how do we go about changing this and just how easy is it?
The Badass ladies are talking to Joeli Brearley who is the founder of “Pregnant Then Screwed”, it started as a campaign after Joeli herself was fired from her job working at a children’s charity whilst 4 months pregnant. Pregnant then screwed is now a force for good supporting women all over the country in similar situations.
They’re holding employers responsible for their actions toward pregnant employees, injustice’s that pregnant women face include being made to sign non-disclosure agreements to force silence, Joeli is giving voices to these women and their stories, aiming to change legislation by creating preventive laws like longer paternity leave, flexible working and childcare issues.
