"Conjuring 2" actress Vera Farmiga has said women have to fight for opportunities in Hollywood.

Farmiga acknowledges that sexism in Hollywood is still rampant, but insists that many women are working to change it, reports telegraph.co.uk.

"You have to fight for that opportunity, you are not given it. And that's where we are becoming ballsier," Farmiga said.

"You create your opportunities -- 'Higher Ground' was an example of that. It is happening more. Yes, in all aspects of production. Pay cheques as well. We are only just learning how to operate, really. And to seize the day," she added.
