I’m a mum of two and have experienced first-hand some of the challenges that can come with balancing work and family life. I’ve worked in HR and education for many years, so I’m used to supporting people, navigating workplace issues and making complicated things a little easier to understand. I’m really pleased to be volunteering with Pregnant Then Screwed and hope I can use my experience to support other parents and help make workplaces fairer and more family-friendly.
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.
