News anchor Palki Sharma’s experience highlights pregnancy bias in the workplace.
Palki Sharma shares her experience of encountering pregnancy bias in the workplace. When she informed her boss about her pregnancy, his immediate concern was about her returning to work “in shape” rather than offering congratulations. This incident sheds light on the pervasive issue of societal expectations imposed on women, even during significant life milestones like motherhood.
Let’s dismantle harmful workplace norms and challenge pregnancy bias. Palki Sharma’s story is a reminder of the need to redefine attitudes towards women’s bodies and prioritise supportive work environments. No woman should face pressure to conform to unrealistic standards post-pregnancy. It’s time to advocate for gender equality in the workplace and promote inclusive policies that empower women to thrive in their careers and personal lives. Join us in amplifying Palki’s voice and advocating for change.
