Insecure labour: the realities of insecure work for pregnant women and new mothers

26 November 2020

樱花动漫 has worked with Maternity Action and UNISON on a joint project that explores the impact of insecure work on the rights of pregnant women and new mothers at work.

 

This has resulted in a report with a series of recommendations, launched on 25 November 2020. Based on interviews with ten women in precarious work, it examines the lived experience of pregnant women seeking to negotiate a safe working environment, a secure income and fair treatment. It also shines a light on how the pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing inequalities and made life significantly more difficult for pregnant women in insecure work.
