Sick of hearing “if you can’t afford to be on unpaid maternity leave you shouldn’t of had a baby” it’s like me saying to everyone who was forced to take mortgage break “if you can’t afford a mortgage don’t buy a house” we didn’t plan for a pandemic! #maternitypetition#ExcludedUK
10th & 22nd July you promised @BorisJohnson you would look into #maternitypetiton! A Petition signed by over 236,000! Why are we still waiting? Many New Mums & Babies on Maternity & Adoption have had ZERO @GOVUK SUPPORT since March! ABANDONED 💔! #ExcludedUK#lockdownbabies
The #maternitypetition is fundamentally an issue of equality. @scullyp@BorisJohnson Women are bearing the brunt of the COVID. New parents are asking for a small extension of statutory Maternity Leave in order to find appropriate childcare & support. #ExcludedUk#Gapsinsuppprt
