One in seven women are made redundant following maternity leave amid growing levels of discrimination in the workplace.
A tenth of women also find themselves replaced by their maternity leave cover, while another one in seven believed they were overlooked for a promotion, a new study has found.
More than half of those affected by such discrimination said they 'suffered in silence', fearing that speaking out will damage their careers.
The survey, carried out by law firm Slater & Gordon, surveyed of 1,000 women carried out.
Campaign group Maternity Action suggested the economic downturn has affected levels of discrimination, with the number of new mothers seeking advice over discrimination doubling every year for the last three years.
