Just this year, USA Today reported that Michelle Williams was paid less than 1 percent of her male co-star Mark Wahlberg to reshoot scenes for the film "All the Money in The World." Though this type of pay disparity has been embedded in the workplace for years, the report led to a further outcry from women and a renewed interest in equal pay by gender. "It's quite amazing that we continue to be facing a pay disparity after this has been an issue for so many years," says Huffington. Women in Hollywood and beyond have also banded together for Time's Up, a campaign to tackle harassment and sexism in the workplace, regardless of the industry. As of this article's publication, the Time's Up legal defense fund has brought in just under its goal of $19 million.

Huffington believes that we are living in a historic moment. One that will bring about changes in the workplace and changes in what's considered acceptable behavior. "This is real and now we have to make sure that this leads to systemic change affecting low wage workers, as well as women in the entertainment and the media industries," says Huffington. The media mogul has acknowledged in the past that it will be up to women to lead this charge in revolutionizing the workplace. "The workplace and all the habits that we embody were introduced by men. And now, it's time for women to say [those habits] are not working," she told Fortune in 2017. She still stands by that sentiment. "I think women have an opportunity to say we don't just want to be at the top of this world, we want to change the world [and] the way it is designed," says Huffington." Because let's face it, right now this world is not working for women [and] it's not working for men."
