March Of The Mummies London is a part of a national protest for families across 7 cities in the UK
About this event
Join us for March of the Mummies London!
March Of The Mummies is a national protest organised by Pregnant Then Screwed on Saturday October 29th 2022 across 7 cities around the UK.
Each march is family friendly and although the subject matter is very serious, the marches are fun events with face painters and music.
What Are Our Demands?
We believe there are three key issues that have a significant impact upon The Motherhood Penalty and we want the Government to acknowledge these issues and set out a plan for action. They are:
1) Good quality affordable childcare for all children
2) Flexible working as the default
3) Ring fenced, properly paid paternity leave
The first March of the Mummies took place on Tuesday 31st October 2017 at midday in 6 cities across the UK and one city in California. The demonstration demanded recognition, respect and action for working mums and dads.
Having held this event in all the way back in 2017 we know that there will be a huge increase in attendees and national coverage of this event, and we hope that through peaceful demonstration we can continue to make a difference to the women who need our support more than ever before.
Pregnant Then Screwed protects, supports and promotes the rights of mothers who suffer the effects of systemic, cultural, and institutional discrimination through our various schemes and activities, including: A free legal advice service, a website where women post their stories of discrimination anonymously, lobbying the Government for legislative change, a mentor scheme that supports women who are considering legal action against their employer and a flexible working helpline.
