Hello,
This Saturday (29 October), Maternity Action and the NCT will be hosting an event to launch their 'Action Plan' on tackling pregnancy- and maternity-related discrimination, which may be of interest to some of you.
They say: "Working together with a number of other organisations, under the group name the Alliance for Maternity Rights, we have developed a list of all the things that Government needs to do in order to tackle this shocking form of discrimination."
The event will include a panel session featuring the following speakers:
Jo Swinson, Chair of Maternity Action;
Elizabeth Duff, Senior Policy Advisor, NCT;
Rosalind Bragg, Director, Maternity Action;
Amelia, speaking about her experience of pregnancy and maternity discrimination.
Attendees are welcome to bring their partners, children and babies: there will be space to park buggies, a craft table for kids and refreshments for both children and adults.
If you're interested in attending, you can find out more and register for the event here.
