00:00:01,574 --> 00:00:05,350
Plan International is committed 
to achieving gender equality

3
00:00:05,540 --> 00:00:07,930
and fostering an inclusive society

4
00:00:08,870 --> 00:00:12,704
we support and empower adolescents 
in all their diversity

5
00:00:13,010 --> 00:00:16,263
regardless of 
their gender, ability, ethnicity,

6
00:00:16,325 --> 00:00:18,290
or any other identity.

7
00:00:18,940 --> 00:00:21,235
This includes sexual orientation,

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:22,718
gender identity,

9
00:00:22,953 --> 00:00:25,503
gender expression, and sex characteristics

10
00:00:25,788 --> 00:00:27,649
or SOGIESC for short.

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,273
But what actually is SOGIESC?

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,746
Let's break it down 
using the SOGIESC person.

13
00:00:34,550 --> 00:00:38,328
This helps us understand 
that each of the individual terms

14
00:00:38,410 --> 00:00:40,710
has a different meaning and combined

15
00:00:40,970 --> 00:00:43,704
they make up a person's SOGIESC identity.

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,250
Let's start with sexual orientation

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,239
this is shown as the heart

18
00:00:48,573 --> 00:00:51,054
as it's about who you are emotionally

19
00:00:51,290 --> 00:00:53,831
physically and sexually attracted to.

20
00:00:54,380 --> 00:00:56,522
One person might be attracted to someone

21
00:00:56,592 --> 00:00:58,305
of a different gender to themselves.

22
00:00:58,689 --> 00:01:01,580
For example, a woman who is heterosexual

23
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:02,933
is attracted to men.

24
00:01:04,231 --> 00:01:06,567
Another person might be 
attracted to someone

25
00:01:06,620 --> 00:01:08,583
of the same gender as themselves.

26
00:01:08,906 --> 00:01:11,766
For example, a woman who is a lesbian

27
00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:13,449
is attracted to other women

28
00:01:14,699 --> 00:01:17,100
Yet another person might be 
attracted to people

29
00:01:17,150 --> 00:01:18,470
of more than one gender.

30
00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:21,809
For example, a woman who is bisexual

31
00:01:22,049 --> 00:01:24,520
is attracted to both men and women.

32
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:29,550
Now, let's talk about gender identity.

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,683
This is shown as the brain

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,880
as it's about how you think 
and feel about yourself and your gender.

35
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:39,669
Some people identify 
as either a woman or a man.

36
00:01:40,019 --> 00:01:41,904
This is a common way of thinking.

37
00:01:42,250 --> 00:01:44,480
But actually many people feel

38
00:01:44,530 --> 00:01:47,050
that they don't fit with these two genders

39
00:01:47,860 --> 00:01:50,174
They might feel 
they are a mixture of the two

40
00:01:50,559 --> 00:01:53,259
or are something else 
that can't be clearly defined.

41
00:01:53,909 --> 00:01:55,559
A person's gender identity

42
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:58,490
might reflect the sex 
that they were assigned at birth

43
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,190
or it might not.

44
00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:02,790
For example, a trans woman

45
00:02:02,850 --> 00:02:05,340
might have been described 
as male at birth,

46
00:02:05,690 --> 00:02:07,866
but now identifies as female.

47
00:02:08,798 --> 00:02:10,640
Now, gender expression.

48
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,150
this involves the whole person

49
00:02:13,330 --> 00:02:15,490
because it is about the different ways

50
00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:17,948
that you communicate your gender identity

51
00:02:18,028 --> 00:02:19,324
to the outside world.

52
00:02:19,890 --> 00:02:21,430
This could include how you dress,

53
00:02:21,810 --> 00:02:22,956
what haircut you have,

54
00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:25,020
how you act or what name you use.

55
00:02:26,030 --> 00:02:29,001
Finally, let's talk 
about sex characteristics.

56
00:02:29,420 --> 00:02:32,650
genitalia because they reflect whether

57
00:02:32,650 --> 00:02:35,140
someone is biologically and physically

58
00:02:35,140 --> 00:02:37,810
female or male as well as your external

59
00:02:37,810 --> 00:02:40,630
genitalia sex characteristics include

60
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:43,150
your hormones chromosomes body shape

61
00:02:43,150 --> 00:02:46,269
voice speech and body hair a person who

62
00:02:46,269 --> 00:02:48,459
is intersex is born with sex

63
00:02:48,459 --> 00:02:50,650
characteristics that are not completely

64
00:02:50,650 --> 00:02:53,680
male or female they are a combination of

65
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,260
both so let's put all the pieces

66
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:59,709
together sexual orientation is about who

67
00:02:59,709 --> 00:03:01,750
you are emotionally physically and

68
00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:04,930
sexually attracted to gender identity is

69
00:03:04,930 --> 00:03:07,060
about how you think and feel about

70
00:03:07,060 --> 00:03:09,400
yourself and your gender gender

71
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,590
expression is about how you communicate

72
00:03:11,590 --> 00:03:14,470
your gender identity to the outside

73
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:17,590
world and sex characteristics are about

74
00:03:17,590 --> 00:03:20,620
your biology such as genitalia hormones

75
00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:23,950
and body shape each of us has a sexual

76
00:03:23,950 --> 00:03:26,470
orientation gender identity gender

77
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:30,430
expression and sex characteristics they

78
00:03:30,430 --> 00:03:33,250
combine to make up a unique soggiest

79
00:03:33,250 --> 00:03:36,970
identity Sergius is fluid this means

80
00:03:36,970 --> 00:03:39,100
that there are lots of different options

81
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:41,560
with no right or wrong way to be also

82
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,250
things can change over time our Saji ask

83
00:03:45,250 --> 00:03:47,350
identity combines with other factors

84
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:50,739
such as our age where we live whether we

85
00:03:50,739 --> 00:03:52,810
are rich of work or whether we have a

86
00:03:52,810 --> 00:03:55,900
disability to make who we are it also

87
00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:59,500
affects our power in society sometimes

88
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:02,079
people are discriminated or excluded

89
00:04:02,079 --> 00:04:03,340
because of their sexual orientation

90
00:04:03,340 --> 00:04:06,970
gender identity gender expression and

91
00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:09,970
sex characteristics this includes people

92
00:04:09,970 --> 00:04:11,600
who identify as less

93
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,320
bein gay bisexual trans intersex or

94
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,180
questioning known as LGBTI Q+ we all

95
00:04:20,180 --> 00:04:23,660
have the right to define and be proud of

96
00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:27,230
our soggiest identity there is no need

97
00:04:27,230 --> 00:04:30,830
to stereotype or harm people everyone is

98
00:04:30,830 --> 00:04:34,160
unique we must all recognize accept and

99
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,160
celebrate this diversity for more
