star
Felicity
Jones
opened
up
about
the
gender
inequality
prevailing
in
the
Hollywood
industry
in
the
matter
of
pay,
She
said
recently,
she
wants
to
be
paid
equal
to
any
actor
irrespective
of
gender
for
the
hard
work
she
is
doing.
She
said,
this
is
what
all
women
in
the
world
want,
to
be
treated
and
paid
equally
with
the
men
for
their
hard
work.
"That's
what
every
single
woman
around
the
world
wants.
We
want
to
be
paid
on
parity
with
a
man
in
a
similar
position.
And
I
think
it's
important
to
talk
about
it," the
Inferno
actress
said
in
a
statement.
She
also
added
that
those
women
are
brave
enough
to
bring
this
problem
to
the
surface
and
talk
about
it
in
the
open.
This
will
infuse
enough
confident
within
the
young
actresses
to
take
this
matter
forward
and
see
to
it
that
they
are
paid
right
and
equal.
"It's
brave
of
those
women
to
come
forward
and
make
a
point
about
it.
Now
younger
actresses
will
have
a
confidence
in
those
discussions
with
their
agents
and
be
able
to
say,
'Can
we
make
sure
that
I'm
being
paid
the
right
amount
for
the
work
that
I'm
doing?'" Jones
added
further.
