As a HR professional holding various managerial HR roles and advising mostly employers I wanted to be able to give something back and support those who are being treated unfairly by their employer. Volunteering has enabled me to retain my employment law knowledge and at the same time help others. I am constantly surprised at how badly employees I speak to are being treated.
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.
