Why Sagah?
Sagah is a community-focused, trans-founded society advocating for the healthcare and human rights of Two-Spirit, trans, and gender diverse people.
We believe in more for our communities, families, elders, and youth. Trans rights are human rights—gender-affirming healthcare is lifesaving healthcare.
Throughout the lives of all people and cultures across millennia, gender diversity has always been a source of strength and vibrancy.
Trans people deserve every opportunity to take part in their communities, receive essential support, and grow toward empowered, safe, and healthy futures.
