In 2020 SAGA (sexuality and gender acceptance) collaborates with Queer World Vest and PKI (Patient organisation for gender incongurens) in the creation of Norways first Transgender Awareness Week. This is organised in Bergen 16th-20th November, with a vision to expand to more cities in Norway within the next few years.
The festival is created by and for trans people in collaboration with several institutions and organizations in the Bergen cultural scene and is dedicated to highlighting trans people and challenges connected to life as a transgendered person. TAW has as main focus to to include the Arabic speaking part of the trans community where people experience more
challenges in the society. Transgender Awareness Week presents podcasts, art exhibitions, installations and performances, lectures, workshops and networking for the trans community in Norway.
Bergen Kommune supports Transgender Awareness Week.
