Pregnant and productive: It's a right not a privilege to work while pregnant

Pregnant and Productive: It’s a Right, Not a Privilege, to Work While Pregnant explores the rights of pregnant workers and challenges the persistent discrimination they face in workplaces across various sectors. The book examines legal frameworks, labor policies, and international human rights standards that affirm pregnancy as a protected condition—not a barrier to employment or productivity. Through case studies, testimonies, and policy analysis, it highlights common obstacles such as unsafe working conditions, forced resignations, lack of accommodations, and stigma that undermines women’s economic participation. The work argues that protecting pregnant workers is essential for gender equality, family well-being, and broader social development. It calls for stronger enforcement of labor laws, workplace accommodations, and a cultural shift that recognizes pregnant workers as fully capable and entitled to safe, fair, and dignified employment.
