I work for a fairly new company tho and must say that I can already see how the discrimination has taken hold since my maternity leave requirements were enforced (I was the first woman in the company to require time off with pay in order to give birth). Of all the newly recruited workers in the 6 months I've been back - only 1 out of 9 is a woman, and she already has a family and is passed a child bearing age. Seems a bit odd.
