Pregnant Then Screwed has started a petition to extend the time limit for maternity-discrimination tribunal cases from three months to six months, giving women more time to consider their options. Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are being used in the UK to silence women who have experienced pregnancy and maternity discrimination, according to campaign group Pregnant Then Screwed. The group has launched a petition to increase the time limit for maternity-discrimination tribunal cases to six months, up from the current three, and is also calling for the government to establish a central NDA monitoring body. In 2015, the Equality and Human Rights Commission calculated that 54,000 women per year in the UK lose their jobs due to such discrimination. “Women should be able to work as long or longer than men without fear of losing their job,” said Sarah Green, director of Pregnant Thrown at the time.
