Pregnant Then Screwed

Pregnant Then Screwed is a charity and campaign group that is on a mission to end the motherhood penalty. Pregnancy and maternity discrimination affects three in four pregnant women and mothers across the UK (EHRC), with one in nine being forced out of their jobs. Of these 54,000 women each year, only 1% raise a tribunal claim, given the barriers to doing so. This is a key contributor to the 15.5% overall gender pay gap (ONS, 2020). PTS' mission is to address both the immediate symptoms of this crisis and to tackle its pernicious and complex causes. We achieve this through our research, campaigning and policy work. Our holistic support services further empower mothers to challenge the discrimination they face on their own terms and to find solutions that centre their own needs and those of their families.

Pregnant Then Screwed's PR is powered by an incredibly small but mighty team. One with unended passion and drive has resulted in over 5,000 pieces of coverage, tribunal wins, policy influence and much more.
