MPs call for more job protection for new mums

Pregnant women and new mothers often face shocking treatment at work including being forced out of jobs, according to a group of MPs who've been looking at the issue.

Members of the Women and Equalities Committee are calling for mothers to get better protection against workplace discrimination, especially as things appear to be worse than they were a decade ago.

Joanna spoke to two mothers who feel they have been discriminated against, a mother in Germany who says their system works better and experts who advise businesses on how to deal with pregnant employees.
