00:00:01.574 --> 00:00:05.350
Plan International is committed 
to achieving gender equality

00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:07.930
and fostering an inclusive society

00:00:08.870 --> 00:00:12.704
we support and empower adolescents 
in all their diversity

00:00:13.010 --> 00:00:16.263
regardless of 
their gender, ability, ethnicity,

00:00:16.325 --> 00:00:18.290
or any other identity.

00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:21.235
This includes sexual orientation,

00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:22.718
gender identity,

00:00:22.953 --> 00:00:25.503
gender expression, and sex characteristics

00:00:25.788 --> 00:00:27.649
or SOGIESC for short.

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.273
But what actually is SOGIESC?

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.746
Let's break it down 
using the SOGIESC person.

00:00:34.550 --> 00:00:38.328
This helps us understand 
that each of the individual terms

00:00:38.410 --> 00:00:40.710
has a different meaning and combined

00:00:40.970 --> 00:00:43.704
they make up a person's SOGIESC identity.

00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:46.250
Let's start with sexual orientation

00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:48.239
this is shown as the heart

00:00:48.573 --> 00:00:51.054
as it's about who you are emotionally

00:00:51.290 --> 00:00:53.831
physically and sexually attracted to.

00:00:54.380 --> 00:00:56.522
One person might be attracted to someone

00:00:56.592 --> 00:00:58.305
of a different gender to themselves.

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

00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:02.933
is attracted to men.

00:01:04.231 --> 00:01:06.567
Another person might be 
attracted to someone

00:01:06.620 --> 00:01:08.583
of the same gender as themselves.

00:01:08.906 --> 00:01:11.766
For example, a woman who is a lesbian

00:01:11.830 --> 00:01:13.449
is attracted to other women

00:01:14.699 --> 00:01:17.100
Yet another person might be 
attracted to people

00:01:17.150 --> 00:01:18.470
of more than one gender.

00:01:19.020 --> 00:01:21.809
For example, a woman who is bisexual

00:01:22.049 --> 00:01:24.520
is attracted to both men and women.

00:01:26.653 --> 00:01:29.550
Now, let's talk about gender identity.

00:01:30.160 --> 00:01:31.683
This is shown as the brain

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.880
as it's about how you think 
and feel about yourself and your gender.

00:01:36.420 --> 00:01:39.669
Some people identify 
as either a woman or a man.

00:01:40.019 --> 00:01:41.904
This is a common way of thinking.

00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:44.480
But actually many people feel

00:01:44.530 --> 00:01:47.050
that they don't fit with these two genders

00:01:47.860 --> 00:01:50.174
They might feel 
they are a mixture of the two

00:01:50.559 --> 00:01:53.259
or are something else 
that can't be clearly defined.

00:01:53.909 --> 00:01:55.559
A person's gender identity

00:01:55.749 --> 00:01:58.490
might reflect the sex 
that they were assigned at birth

00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:00.190
or it might not.

00:02:00.810 --> 00:02:02.790
For example, a trans woman

00:02:02.850 --> 00:02:05.340
might have been described 
as male at birth,

00:02:05.690 --> 00:02:07.866
but now identifies as female.

00:02:08.798 --> 00:02:10.640
Now, gender expression.

00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.150
this involves the whole person

00:02:13.330 --> 00:02:15.490
because it is about the different ways

00:02:15.580 --> 00:02:17.948
that you communicate your gender identity

00:02:18.028 --> 00:02:19.324
to the outside world.

00:02:19.890 --> 00:02:21.430
This could include how you dress,

00:02:21.810 --> 00:02:22.956
what haircut you have,

00:02:23.220 --> 00:02:25.020
how you act or what name you use.

00:02:26.030 --> 00:02:29.001
Finally, let's talk 
about sex characteristics.

00:02:29.420 --> 00:02:32.650
genitalia because they reflect whether

00:02:32.650 --> 00:02:35.140
someone is biologically and physically

00:02:35.140 --> 00:02:37.810
female or male as well as your external

00:02:37.810 --> 00:02:40.630
genitalia sex characteristics include

00:02:40.630 --> 00:02:43.150
your hormones chromosomes body shape

00:02:43.150 --> 00:02:46.269
voice speech and body hair a person who

00:02:46.269 --> 00:02:48.459
is intersex is born with sex

00:02:48.459 --> 00:02:50.650
characteristics that are not completely

00:02:50.650 --> 00:02:53.680
male or female they are a combination of

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.260
both so let's put all the pieces

00:02:56.260 --> 00:02:59.709
together sexual orientation is about who

00:02:59.709 --> 00:03:01.750
you are emotionally physically and

00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:04.930
sexually attracted to gender identity is

00:03:04.930 --> 00:03:07.060
about how you think and feel about

00:03:07.060 --> 00:03:09.400
yourself and your gender gender

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.590
expression is about how you communicate

00:03:11.590 --> 00:03:14.470
your gender identity to the outside

00:03:14.470 --> 00:03:17.590
world and sex characteristics are about

00:03:17.590 --> 00:03:20.620
your biology such as genitalia hormones

00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:23.950
and body shape each of us has a sexual

00:03:23.950 --> 00:03:26.470
orientation gender identity gender

00:03:26.470 --> 00:03:30.430
expression and sex characteristics they

00:03:30.430 --> 00:03:33.250
combine to make up a unique soggiest

00:03:33.250 --> 00:03:36.970
identity Sergius is fluid this means

00:03:36.970 --> 00:03:39.100
that there are lots of different options

00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:41.560
with no right or wrong way to be also

00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.250
things can change over time our Saji ask

00:03:45.250 --> 00:03:47.350
identity combines with other factors

00:03:47.350 --> 00:03:50.739
such as our age where we live whether we

00:03:50.739 --> 00:03:52.810
are rich of work or whether we have a

00:03:52.810 --> 00:03:55.900
disability to make who we are it also

00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:59.500
affects our power in society sometimes

00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:02.079
people are discriminated or excluded

00:04:02.079 --> 00:04:03.340
because of their sexual orientation

00:04:03.340 --> 00:04:06.970
gender identity gender expression and

00:04:06.970 --> 00:04:09.970
sex characteristics this includes people

00:04:09.970 --> 00:04:11.600
who identify as less

00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:15.320
bein gay bisexual trans intersex or

00:04:15.320 --> 00:04:20.180
questioning known as LGBTI Q+ we all

00:04:20.180 --> 00:04:23.660
have the right to define and be proud of

00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:27.230
our soggiest identity there is no need

00:04:27.230 --> 00:04:30.830
to stereotype or harm people everyone is

00:04:30.830 --> 00:04:34.160
unique we must all recognize accept and

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.160
celebrate this diversity for more
