Turning gender equality commitments into
meaningful change.
I help European and international organisations design inclusive programmes, strengthen gender equality strategies, and create workplaces where women can thrive.
Anna Lucia Pinto.
Senior Gender Equality Expert.
Gender equality is more than representation.
It's about transforming lived experiences.
Across Europe and beyond, progress is slowly being made in women's participation and leadership. Yet policies, targets and representation alone cannot capture the full reality of women's lives.
Meaningful change happens when organisations recognise women's experiences, health, voices and needs — and translate this understanding into inclusive policies, programmes and workplaces.
Because real equality is not only written in policies. It is lived.
What I Offer
I work with organisations to turn gender equality commitments into inclusive policies, programmes, and workplaces.
I support women in strengthening their confidence, voice and leadership, connecting health awareness and lived experiences with professional growth, agency and sustainable performance.

Her Way and Her Cycle: programmes for

Signature Programmes
HER WAY and
HER CYCLE
Two programmes I created around a simple truth: women don't leave their bodies, health or lived experiences at the door when they come to work. These programmes help organisations create workplaces where women can thrive.
HER WAY
A Women's Sustainable Leadership Journey
A seven-session programme connecting body awareness, health and embodied practices to more authentic, confident and sustainable leadership.
HER CYCLE
Menstrual Health & Perimenopause at Work
A four-session programme helping women understand their hormonal health and use that knowledge to support their wellbeing, work and leadership.
My Approach:
Understand - Experience- Transform -
Connecting systems, lived experiences and action to create meaningful change.
Let’s Work Together
Real equality isn't only measured in policies signed or targets reported. It shows up in a woman who understands her own cycle instead of pushing through it, who sets a boundary instead of apologising for it, who leads a meeting the way she actually wants to lead it — and in the organisations that make room for that to happen.
If your organisation is ready to move gender equality from commitment to practice — or you want to bring HER WAY or HER CYCLE to your team — let's talk.
About me
I'm a gender equality expert with over 15 years of experience working across European institutions, international cooperation and social innovation.
Today, I bring together two dimensions of my work: advancing equality through policies and programmes, and empowering women through health, body awareness and sustainable leadership.
I'm also the founder of La Casa Roja, where I bring this vision into practice.
