Vitrina scene 7: Pregnancy discrimination

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
This scene focuses on pregnancy discrimination in the context of employment. In this scene, we see three pregnant women at the gym keeping up with their bodies not to deliver. Each woman presents the reasons why she needs to not deliver and go on maternity leave as this would put her under the risk of either losing her job, not being entitled for a promotion, or not having family support such as childcare. Having to take a career break to take care of a newborn is a stressful decision that includes several disadvantages for most women. One of the most prominent issues is having to choose between their career and starting a family. Generally, after maternity women either quit work or settle for a less deserving position. Thus, pregnancy often has severe long-term effects on women’s careers.
