Workplace discrimination is pushing thousands of new mothers out of their jobs every year, according to a new study.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission says 10% of those surveyed had lost their jobs, been made redundant or been treated so badly they had quit.
The survey of more than 3,000 women, carried out in partnership with the Department for Business Innovation and Skills, also found that around one in five new mothers experienced harassment or negative comments from their colleagues, employer or manager when pregnant or returning from maternity leave.
Joanna Gosling discussed the issue with Hannah Martin, who says she was forced to resign from her job at an advertising agency after she got back from maternity leave, Caroline Waters, Deputy Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Joeli Brearly, who runs the website PregnantThenScrewed.com, where women can share stories about discrimination and Tina Knight, who is a business consultant and chair of Women in Business, which represents female business owners.
