Hostile reactions | The workplace discrimination faced by staff with fertility struggles

Earlier this month, a report from the World Health Organisation found that one in six people around the world experience infertility.

Yet new research shows that some employers are failing to properly support employees going through the emotional and physical battle of infertility treatment. More concerning is the notion that some bosses are even reacting negatively when workers inform them of their struggles.

In fact, one in four women are unfairly treated at work after telling their boss that they are undergoing fertility treatment, new research has revealed.

This new study from charity Pregnant Then Screwed in partnership with Women In Data lifts the lid on the shocking discrimination that women experience in the workplace due to reproductive health issues.
