Episode description

Every year thousands of women are penalised at work, simply for getting pregnant.

We hear from a woman who was forced to quit her job after months of prejudice from her manager and from another mother who tirelessly campaigns to stamp out the motherhood penalty.

Kate speaks to Pregnant Than Screwed founder, Joeli Brearley and employment lawyer, Remziye Ozcan from Slater and Gordon, to find out how this widespread problem is leaving many women facing the choice of seeking justice, or, protecting their baby.
