Moved by numerous disheartening stories of discrimination against women who pump breast milk at work, Jen Pan launched a campaign to put an end to this prejudiced attitude. She firmly believes that no one has the right to claim that a woman pumping breast milk at work would affect her productivity.

In her compelling message, Jen asserts, “No one has the right to review the compensation of women who spend 1 or 2 hours of work pumping milk. No one has the right to stop you from breastfeeding if you and your baby are not ready.”

Jen, through her lens and activism, sends a powerful message to employers and society alike, emphasizing the importance of providing office women with a few minutes during the day to perform their role as mothers. She firmly believes that this support will lead to secure, happy, and effective employees.
