Regarding her field of responsibility, Trettebergstuen that an extra 1,1 billion NOK would be given to the cultural sector as a part of the government's compensation scheme.

She also faced criticism for not upholding the pledge for a new Storting message for the sports sector, which had been shelved due to the COVID-19 pandemic by the previous government.

Among the strategy's content, she said it would notably cover male school drop outs, men's mental health, discrimination against women in the workplace, sexual harassment and negative social control.
