A Mother's Job: From Benefits Street to the Houses of Parliament: One Woman’s Fight For Her Tragic Daughter

Product Information

There are upsides to this: Dooley says hiring managers who’ve seen what their own mothers are capable of, or who are parents themselves, may be influenced to view a mum more positively. They may even subsequently influence their colleagues to take on their views. The GLA is working to get other employers to adopt the scheme across London through their Good Work Standard.

If there’s one thing that moms have a lot of, it’s baby gear. When families with young children go on vacation, they don’t have the ability to bring all of their gear along. Items like cribs, strollers, car seats, high chairs and swings are not very portable but can make or break a vacation experience. Many of the countries where m2m operares have a shared philosophy called Ubuntu, meaning “I am, because we are”. In the spirit of that philosophy—whatever your beliefs and traditions are—join us for a special evening of singing and readings, as we celebrate our shared connections and stand hand in hand with the communities we serve across sub-Saharan Africa this festive season!To generalize overall, women tend to do more invisible labor than men. "Invisible and visible labor are gendered concepts," says Elizabeth Gedmark, vice president of A Better Balance. "Historically, men have not done labor or work that is unpaid, and women have not been paid for their work, even when it was essential. Women's work, particularly the work of women of color, has time and again been undervalued and pushed behind closed doors out of the public eye." Mums need to understand both the upsides and the downsides – as well as read the room. The risk of penalisation may be greater at less progressive organisations or in male-dominated fields, where there may be less movement toward embracing motherhood as a signifier of skill, and more entrenched biases about mothers’ fitness to work. What Brearley would love, she says with a smile when we speak over a video call (her two sons are being looked after by her partner in another room), “is to see every woman who’s signed an NDA to break it on the same day and say what really has been going on. But you can’t force people to do that.” There are some overt assumptions that play into hiring managers’ decisions,” says Dooley, “and there’s nothing discreet about it.” Some hiring managers might pass over mothers because they assume they’ll need more time off, or take too much advantage of a flexible scheduling policy. And having women screening resumes or in positions with hiring power may not actually help mothers. “Women discriminate against women as much as men discriminate against women,” he adds. Single mothers looking for work also talk positively about employers who are upfront and clear about options for flexibility in job adverts, saying they were much more likely to apply to organisations who were transparent about the flexibility on offer.
