2. Hollywood actress Charlize Theron has urged women to “put their foot down” over equal pay, after telling how she negotiated a fair deal in her latest movie.

Leaked documents recently revealed a number of female actresses who had been paid less than their co-stars.

In an interview with Elle magazine, Ms Theron said she was given equal pay with her co-stars for her role in the forthcoming Snow White and the Huntsman sequel, after she simply demanded to earn the same.

Ms Theron said: “I have to give them credit because once I asked, they said yes. They did not fight it. And maybe that’s the message: That we just need to put our foot down. ”

The Oscar-winning actress said too many people thought feminism was about hating men, when it simply meant equal rights.

“This is a good time for us to bring this to a place of fairness, and girls need to know that being a feminist is a good thing,” she told Elle. “It doesn’t mean that you hate men. It means equal rights. If you’re doing the same job, you should be compensated and treated in the same way.”
