Actress Natalie Portman says the discussion on gender disparity may have become widespread, but women have a long way to go to gender-neutral equal opportunity and pay.

The 34-year-old actress said the lack of female directors is her major concern, reported People magazine.

"For myself I feel excited about the opportunities I have, but I am concerned that there's not more female directors... We still have a lot more work to do.

"I think that the conversation has definitely become more widespread which is very important, but the problem is just as severe, actually probably more severe because it's been so long that it hasn't changed. There's a long ways to go," Portman said.
 

However, she is happy that people are having a conversation about it.
