A WOMAN is being pushed out of her job every seven minutes for “daring to procreate,” new research suggested today.
The report, by Pregnant Then Screwed, in partnership with Women In Data, estimated that up to 74,000 women are losing their jobs each year for getting pregnant or taking maternity leave.
The figures demonstrate a sharp 37 per cent rise from the 54,000 recorded by the Equality and Human Rights Commission in 2016.
