Plan International is committed 
to achieving gender equality

00:00:05.548 --> 00:00:07.848
and fostering an inclusive society

00:00:08.770 --> 00:00:12.814
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 --> 00:00:22.708
gender identity,

00:00:22.903 --> 00:00:25.663
gender expression, and sex characteristics

00:00:25.788 --> 00:00:27.709
or SOGIESC for short.

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:30.303
But what actually is SOGIESC?

00:00:30.820 --> 00:00:33.806
Let's break it down 
using the SOGIESC person.

00:00:34.490 --> 00:00:38.390
This helps us understand 
that each of the individual terms

00:00:38.390 --> 00:00:40.650
has a different meaning and combined

00:00:41.030 --> 00:00:43.629
they make up a person's SOGIESC identity.

00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:46.380
Let's start with sexual orientation

00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:48.420
this is shown as the heart

00:00:48.573 --> 00:00:51.014
as it's about who you are emotionally

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

00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:56.552
One person might be attracted to someone

00:00:56.702 --> 00:00:58.455
of a different gender to themselves.

00:00:58.689 --> 00:01:01.520
For example, a woman who is heterosexual

00:01:01.628 --> 00:01:02.961
is attracted to men.

00:01:04.231 --> 00:01:06.537
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 --> 00:01:11.706
For example, a woman who is a lesbian

00:01:11.890 --> 00:01:13.539
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 --> 00:01:21.849
For example, a woman who is bisexual

00:01:21.969 --> 00:01:24.560
is attracted to both men and women.

00:01:26.653 --> 00:01:29.580
Now, let's talk about gender identity.

00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:31.673
This is shown as the brain

00:01:31.940 --> 00:01:35.880
as it's about how you think 
and feel about yourself and your gender.

00:01:36.380 --> 00:01:39.719
Some people identify 
as either a woman or a man.

00:01:40.019 --> 00:01:41.954
This is a common way of thinking.

00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:44.440
But actually many people feel

00:01:44.623 --> 00:01:47.143
that they don't fit with these two genders

00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:50.181
They might feel 
they are a mixture of the two

00:01:50.559 --> 00:01:53.309
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 --> 00:01:58.550
might reflect the sex 
that they were assigned at birth

00:01:59.030 --> 00:02:00.270
or it might not.

00:02:00.710 --> 00:02:02.790
For example, a trans woman

00:02:02.940 --> 00:02:05.360
might have been described 
as male at birth,

00:02:05.690 --> 00:02:07.936
but now identifies as female.

00:02:08.798 --> 00:02:10.650
Now, gender expression.

00:02:10.980 --> 00:02:13.180
this involves the whole person

00:02:13.330 --> 00:02:15.450
because it is about the different ways

00:02:15.610 --> 00:02:18.018
that you communicate your gender identity

00:02:18.183 --> 00:02:19.479
to the outside world.

00:02:19.890 --> 00:02:21.610
This could include how you dress,

00:02:21.770 --> 00:02:22.986
what haircut you have,

00:02:23.220 --> 00:02:25.090
how you act or what name you use.

00:02:26.030 --> 00:02:29.021
Finally, let's talk 
about sex characteristics.

00:02:29.210 --> 00:02:32.300
We show these as genitalia
because they reflect whether

00:02:32.448 --> 00:02:34.968
wether someone is biologically
and physically

00:02:35.140 --> 00:02:38.770
female or male as well
as your external genitalia

00:02:39.040 --> 00:02:40.770
sex characteristics include

00:02:40.890 --> 00:02:43.150
your hormones chromosomes body shape

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.109
voice speech and body hair

00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.312
a person who is intersex

00:02:47.459 --> 00:02:49.376
is born with sex characteristics

00:02:49.490 --> 00:02:51.851
that are not completely
male or female

00:02:52.221 --> 00:02:54.138
they are a combination of both

00:02:54.651 --> 00:02:56.960
so let's put all the pieces together

00:02:57.550 --> 00:02:59.438
sexual orientation is about

00:02:59.559 --> 00:03:03.410
who you are emotionally, physically
and sexually attracted to.

00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:06.196
gender identity is about
how you think

00:03:06.313 --> 00:03:08.800
and feel about yourself
and your gender

00:03:09.160 --> 00:03:11.350
gender 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
