I’m Anna, a People & Culture professional with over 10 years’ experience in HR with a law degree and Level 5 CIPD. I’m proud to volunteer with the Pregnant Then Screwed helpline, helping to guide people through challenges and discrimination at work with clear, practical support. For me, the most important part of this role is listening with empathy, offering callers a calm, sensible voice and a safe space to feel heard as they navigate difficult situations.
Our vision is a world where the mothers, parents and families of today and tomorrow thrive.
But the reality right now is mothers, parents and families are repeatedly failed by systems that are supposed to help them, systems which set up unfairness and disadvantage across a lifetime. This is the motherhood penalty, and Pregnant Then Screwed exists to challenge it.
Founded on International Women’s Day in 2015, we are rooted in lived experience and driven by fearless conviction. We challenge the systems that hold mothers back so that everyone who experiences motherhood can work and care without penalty. We campaign for change, offer support and advice, and build community with parents across the UK. We do this with power, courage and love.
