T-pot Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 My amazing friend Joeli started this website recently, helping to expose discrimination that is still far too common.... Please take a look! http://pregnantthenscrewed.com/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56213-pregnant-then-screwed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
landsberger Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 A website for women who have been discriminated against whilst they were pregnant or after having a baby. It is estimated that 50,000 women a year lose their jobs due to maternity discrimination. This doesn't include the women who are demoted, harassed, aren't put forward for promotion or lose contracts if they are self employed. Pregnant Then Screwed is a place for you to tell your story in your own words so that we can expose this injustice, because exposure is a step towards positive societal change.

sylviamaria Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It is an extremely sad read. I had a very negative experience during my second pregnancy myself and still feel angry about it... I hope this website can make a change! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56213-pregnant-then-screwed/#findComment-837024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeli Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi all, thanks for looking at the project and for supporting the campaign. It is so vital that we change perceptions and the law so that we are better protected. Stories are such a powerful way to show how systemic a problem like maternity discrimination is. If any of you have experienced this please, please, please post your story on the site. It is completely anonymous. The more stories we have the more powerful the campaign. Thanks so much - Joeli Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56213-pregnant-then-screwed/#findComment-837120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouLouMoving Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hi EDF!Great news about Pregnant Then Screwed. Yesterday, on Mother's Day, we launched our very first Crowdfunder! Since this thread started in 2015 we've gone from strength to strength but completely unfunded. We're on the cusp of changing a piece of legislation that limits pregnant women/new mothers to 90days to file discrimination claims. We launched a free, legal hotline.The time has come to grow the campaign so that we can offer more women our help with our mentor service and new campaigns. So far we've helped over 600 women and aim to assist 2,500 in the course of 2017. http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/pregnantthenscrewedIf you're interested check out our video (featuring a few celebrities and MPs) and the pledge site. If you pledge, please share in your networks with friends, family, colleagues ... CSR Managers ;) so we cna give you a big shoutout and thanks!We're really hoping this will be our silver bullet for a jam-packed 2017!FOLLOW US!FB: https://www.facebook.com/maternitydiscrimination/Twitter: @pregnantscrewedInstagram: pregnant_then_screwedWebsite: http://pregnantthenscrewed.com/Baby Shop: http://pregnantthenscrewed.bigcartel.com/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/56213-pregnant-then-screwed/#findComment-1119265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
