After almost 10 years, Brearley is stepping down as chief executive of the campaigning organisation she launched in 2015 following her experience of pregnancy discrimination. She was sacked by voicemail the day after she informed her employer, a children’s charity, that she was expecting a baby.
Brearley will continue to work with Pregnant Then Screwed as an ambassador. She is also launching a podcast on raising boys with speaker and author, Elliott Rae. A new chief executive will be found for the campaigning organisation.
Her achievements with Pregnant Then Screwed have included staging the world’s largest protest of mothers, the March of the Mummies, and influencing new flexible working and redundancy protection laws. During the pandemic, Pregnant Then Screwed (PTS) successfully campaigned for pregnant women to be prioritised for the vaccine and influenced the implementation of childcare bubbles.
