This month, the charity Pregnant Then Screwed released new data which reveals a pattern of discrimination towards pregnant women and mothers.
The research found that 1 in 61 pregnant women report that their boss suggested they have an abortion.
The law is clear, no one should be subjected to harassment or discrimination, either at work or elsewhere.
All employers have a responsibility to act to ensure that workers do not face this kind of mistreatment. We are committed to protecting the rights of pregnant women and mothers in the workplace.
