About Joeli Brearley

Founder of Pregnant Then Screwed charity
Named among Vogue's 25 Most Influential Women
Led March of the Mummies across the UK
Joeli Brearley is a prominent British activist, author, and public speaker, best known as the founder of Pregnant Then Screwed, a charity dedicated to addressing workplace discrimination and the motherhood penalty. Her work has inspired changes at both societal and legislative levels. She is credited with influencing the recent £5.2 billion investment in childcare, as well as changing laws on flexible working, tribunal time limits, and redundancy protections.

In 2021, she took the Government to court for indirect sex discrimination and won her claim. Joeli spearheaded the biggest protest of mothers the UK has ever seen - March of the Mummies saw 15,000 parents march across 10 UK cities, garnering nationwide attention for demanding workplace equality and better policies for parents.

Joeli has been recognised for her influence in activism and gender equality. She was listed among British Vogue’s “25 Most Influential Women” in 2021 and was PR Week’s 8th most prominent British communicator in 2023. She frequently contributes to high-profile publications, raising awareness about the systemic challenges working mothers face. Her book, Pregnant Then Screwed: The Truth About the Motherhood Penalty, has been lauded for its candid exploration of these issues and for empowering women to fight back against discrimination.

Joeli remains a tireless advocate for creating a fairer, more inclusive workplace for women everywhere. Contact the PepTalk team today for fee information and a speaker availability check.
