Rusnė Kirtiklytė

Pronouns: She/her

I am a gender equality expert, medical doctor, psychotherapist, university lecturer and public speaker. 

Throughout my career, I have delivered numerous trainings and lectures on gender equality, CSE, gender-based violence and LGBTQIA+ inclusion, working with young people, educators, professionals and organisations. 

As a Senior Adviser at Lithuania’s Office of the Equal Opportunities Ombudsperson, I work on gender equality mainstreaming, women’s empowerment and gender balance in leadership and decision-making, while supporting organisations through training and practical guidance. 

I strongly believe in education as a powerful driver of social change and am especially passionate about turning gender equality from policy into meaningful change in people’s everyday lives.
