Pregnancy can be a particularly vulnerable time for survivors of domestic violence. In fact, many survivors report that abuse began or intensified during their pregnancy. Yet far too many pregnant workers in the United States face also discrimination in the workplace: threatening their health, the health of their pregnancies, and their families' financial security – further endangering their safety.

The bipartisan Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) (S. 1486) works to end discrimination, promote healthy pregnancies, and help ensure economic security for families. This bill builds upon the successful Pregnancy Discrimination Act and helps ensure employers provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant workers who want to continue working.
