Emily

Hi, I’m Emily, and I decided to volunteer with Pregnant Then Screwed because of my own challenging workplace experiences. Having been through difficult situations myself, I understand how stressful and overwhelming they can be, and I know that sometimes having someone who will simply listen can make a huge difference.

I find the campaigning work that Pregnant Then Screwed does incredibly inspiring, and I want to play a part in driving positive change for women’s rights. I am passionate about raising awareness of employment rights, helping people understand when they are being treated unlawfully, and standing up to organisations that undermine or limit women’s rights in the workplace.

Who we are

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.
