Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman and former Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern are using their star power to champion women's sport.

They joined Black Fern Ruby Tui and FIFA Secretary-General Fatma Samoura on a panel in Auckland to share their hopes and their experiences of inequality.

The event was the last in a series of gender-equity discussions run in conjunction with the FIFA women's world cup.
