Plan International is committed [br]to achieving gender equality

0:00:05.540,0:00:07.930
and fostering an inclusive society

0:00:08.870,0:00:12.704
we support and empower adolescents [br]in all their diversity

0:00:13.010,0:00:16.263
regardless of [br]their gender, ability, ethnicity,

0:00:16.325,0:00:18.290
or any other identity.

0:00:18.940,0:00:21.235
This includes sexual orientation,

0:00:21.560,0:00:22.718
gender identity,

0:00:22.953,0:00:25.503
gender expression, and sex characteristics

0:00:25.788,0:00:27.649
or SOGIESC for short.

0:00:28.320,0:00:30.273
But what actually is SOGIESC?

0:00:30.920,0:00:33.746
Let's break it down [br]using the SOGIESC person.

0:00:34.550,0:00:38.328
This helps us understand [br]that each of the individual terms

0:00:38.410,0:00:40.710
has a different meaning and combined

0:00:40.970,0:00:43.704
they make up a person's SOGIESC identity.

0:00:44.040,0:00:46.250
Let's start with sexual orientation

0:00:46.880,0:00:48.239
this is shown as the heart

0:00:48.573,0:00:51.054
as it's about who you are emotionally

0:00:51.290,0:00:53.831
physically and sexually attracted to.

0:00:54.380,0:00:56.522
One person might be attracted to someone

0:00:56.592,0:00:58.305
of a different gender to themselves.

0:00:58.689,0:01:01.580
For example, a woman who is heterosexual

0:01:01.620,0:01:02.933
is attracted to men.

0:01:04.231,0:01:06.567
Another person might be [br]attracted to someone

0:01:06.620,0:01:08.583
of the same gender as themselves.

0:01:08.906,0:01:11.766
For example, a woman who is a lesbian

0:01:11.830,0:01:13.449
is attracted to other women

0:01:14.699,0:01:17.100
Yet another person might be [br]attracted to people

0:01:17.150,0:01:18.470
of more than one gender.

0:01:19.020,0:01:21.809
For example, a woman who is bisexual

0:01:22.049,0:01:24.520
is attracted to both men and women.

0:01:26.653,0:01:29.550
Now, let's talk about gender identity.

0:01:30.160,0:01:31.683
This is shown as the brain

0:01:32.000,0:01:35.880
as it's about how you think [br]and feel about yourself and your gender.

0:01:36.420,0:01:39.669
Some people identify [br]as either a woman or a man.

0:01:40.019,0:01:41.904
This is a common way of thinking.

0:01:42.250,0:01:44.480
But actually many people feel

0:01:44.530,0:01:47.050
that they don't fit with these two genders

0:01:47.860,0:01:50.174
They might feel [br]they are a mixture of the two

0:01:50.559,0:01:53.259
or are something else [br]that can't be clearly defined.

0:01:53.909,0:01:55.559
A person's gender identity

0:01:55.749,0:01:58.490
might reflect the sex [br]that they were assigned at birth

0:01:59.080,0:02:00.190
or it might not.

0:02:00.810,0:02:02.790
For example, a trans woman

0:02:02.850,0:02:05.340
might have been described [br]as male at birth,

0:02:05.690,0:02:07.866
but now identifies as female.

0:02:08.798,0:02:10.640
Now, gender expression.

0:02:11.080,0:02:13.150
this involves the whole person

0:02:13.330,0:02:15.490
because it is about the different ways

0:02:15.580,0:02:17.948
that you communicate your gender identity

0:02:18.028,0:02:19.324
to the outside world.

0:02:19.890,0:02:21.430
This could include how you dress,

0:02:21.810,0:02:22.956
what haircut you have,

0:02:23.220,0:02:25.020
how you act or what name you use.

0:02:26.030,0:02:29.001
Finally, let's talk [br]about sex characteristics.

0:02:29.420,0:02:32.650
genitalia because they reflect whether

0:02:32.650,0:02:35.140
someone is biologically and physically

0:02:35.140,0:02:37.810
female or male as well as your external

0:02:37.810,0:02:40.630
genitalia sex characteristics include

0:02:40.630,0:02:43.150
your hormones chromosomes body shape

0:02:43.150,0:02:46.269
voice speech and body hair a person who

0:02:46.269,0:02:48.459
is intersex is born with sex

0:02:48.459,0:02:50.650
characteristics that are not completely

0:02:50.650,0:02:53.680
male or female they are a combination of

0:02:53.680,0:02:56.260
both so let's put all the pieces

0:02:56.260,0:02:59.709
together sexual orientation is about who

0:02:59.709,0:03:01.750
you are emotionally physically and

0:03:01.750,0:03:04.930
sexually attracted to gender identity is

0:03:04.930,0:03:07.060
about how you think and feel about

0:03:07.060,0:03:09.400
yourself and your gender gender

0:03:09.400,0:03:11.590
expression is about how you communicate

0:03:11.590,0:03:14.470
your gender identity to the outside

0:03:14.470,0:03:17.590
world and sex characteristics are about

0:03:17.590,0:03:20.620
your biology such as genitalia hormones

0:03:20.620,0:03:23.950
and body shape each of us has a sexual

0:03:23.950,0:03:26.470
orientation gender identity gender

0:03:26.470,0:03:30.430
expression and sex characteristics they

0:03:30.430,0:03:33.250
combine to make up a unique soggiest

0:03:33.250,0:03:36.970
identity Sergius is fluid this means

0:03:36.970,0:03:39.100
that there are lots of different options

0:03:39.100,0:03:41.560
with no right or wrong way to be also

0:03:41.560,0:03:45.250
things can change over time our Saji ask

0:03:45.250,0:03:47.350
identity combines with other factors

0:03:47.350,0:03:50.739
such as our age where we live whether we

0:03:50.739,0:03:52.810
are rich of work or whether we have a

0:03:52.810,0:03:55.900
disability to make who we are it also

0:03:55.900,0:03:59.500
affects our power in society sometimes

0:03:59.500,0:04:02.079
people are discriminated or excluded

0:04:02.079,0:04:03.340
because of their sexual orientation

0:04:03.340,0:04:06.970
gender identity gender expression and

0:04:06.970,0:04:09.970
sex characteristics this includes people

0:04:09.970,0:04:11.600
who identify as less

0:04:11.600,0:04:15.320
bein gay bisexual trans intersex or

0:04:15.320,0:04:20.180
questioning known as LGBTI Q+ we all

0:04:20.180,0:04:23.660
have the right to define and be proud of

0:04:23.660,0:04:27.230
our soggiest identity there is no need

0:04:27.230,0:04:30.830
to stereotype or harm people everyone is

0:04:30.830,0:04:34.160
