Women Empowered Global: The Mom Penalty

Undoubtedly the months of pandemic lockdown have been harsh on all of us. But it has been especially brutal for working moms. They have had to juggle endless workplace demands alongside managing an unequal load of housework, childcare, and remote schooling. As a result, four times more women than men dropped out of the workforce. To highlight this concern, Women Empowered Global launched this film The Mom Penalty on International Women’s Day to address the elephant in the room.
