Before her marriage, Cidália Guterres was a leading member of the Organização Popular de Mulheres Timorense, the feminist organization of the FRETILIN party whose president was Francisco Guterres.[2]

After the presidential election of 20 March 2017, Lopes Guterres announced her claim to be engaged in social activities in favour of women, widows, orphans, as well as for old, disabled and disowned people, though the East Timor constitution didn't specifically mention such a type of a mandate for the first ladies.[3][4][5] From that time, she started to visit a variety of social institutions on a regular basis, to assume representative charges and to be the main responsible of multiple social programs.[6]

In a 2017 survey published by the International Republican Institute, Cidália Guterres received a positive feedback from the 62% of the members of the sampled size, while her predecessor Isabel da Costa Ferreira reached a target of the 89%.[7]
