The pay gap between men and women in the workplace is acknowledged and beyond debate. In many western countries, men are paid an average of 20% more than their female colleagues. Globally the figure grows to around 30%. However, you can negotiate pay going freelance. The article gives stories about this. http://www.theknowledgeonline.com/the-knowledge-bulletin/post/2015/10/07/tackling-the-film-industrys-gender-pay-gap
According to US labour department data, women in the arts, entertainment, sports and media industries earned 85% of male counterparts’ pay last year. For women working full time in all sectors, the figure was 82.5%. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/29/hollywood-equal-pay-women-change-yet-to-come
In 2015, female full-time, year-round workers made only 80 cents for every dollar earned by men, a gender wage gap of 20 percent. According to our research, if change continues at the same slow pace as it has done for the past fifty years, it will take 44 years—or until 2059—for women to finally reach pay parity. https://iwpr.org/issue/employment-education-economic-change/pay-equity-discrimination/
