"Eight years ago I was on maternity leave," Sarah Rees told a full, spirited crowd at Cardiff's March of the Mummies on Saturday morning. "I’d just had my first child and was thinking about going back to a job that I absolutely loved.
"My boss wasn’t replying to my calls, I had a look on the website and my name had been removed from the list of staff. That’s when I started to get the feeling that I’d been pregnant, and then screwed."
Sarah's turn of phrase is borrowed from the name of the charity - Pregnant Then Screwed - that she volunteers for, and which has organised its yearly marches around the UK. In Cardiff, a couple of hundred people, including mums, dads and kids, took to the streets on Saturday, October 29 to demand a better deal for working parents (especially mothers).
