Safah

I’m Safah, a chartered architect and mum of two. I wanted to volunteer with Pregnant Then Screwed because I have first-hand experience of navigating workplace issues connected to pregnancy and maternity, including the Employment Tribunal process as a litigant in person. I know how overwhelming and isolating that process can feel, particularly when you are trying to understand your rights and navigate a complex legal system at an already difficult time. I hope I can use what I’ve learned through my own experience to support others going through something similar and help them feel a little less alone.

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.
