Project gives voice to victims of pregnancy discrimination

A new project has been launched in the hopes of giving a voice to women who have been discriminated against while at work due to their pregnancy.

The website Pregnant and Screwed provides a platform for current and former employees to anonymously reveal their negative workplace experiences during and after pregnancy.

As 60,000 women are year are driven out of employment due to pregnancy (a figure that does not include women who are demoted, suffer harassment, aren’t put forward for promotions or lose out on contracts if they are self-employed.), a campaign has been launched to “expose this injustice and together make a case for recognition, respect and change.”
