Plan International is committed [br]to achieving gender equality

0:00:05.548,0:00:07.848
and fostering an inclusive society.

0:00:08.770,0:00:12.814
We support and empower adolescents [br]in all their diversity,

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

0:00:21.560,0:00:22.708
gender identity,

0:00:22.903,0:00:25.543
gender expression[br]and sex characteristics

0:00:25.788,0:00:27.729
or SOGIESC for short.

0:00:28.240,0:00:30.303
But what actually is SOGIESC?

0:00:30.820,0:00:33.836
Let's break it down, [br]using the SOGIESC person.

0:00:34.450,0:00:38.336
This helps us understand [br]that each of the individual terms

0:00:38.460,0:00:40.650
has a different meaning and combined

0:00:41.030,0:00:43.629
they make up a person's SOGIESC identity.

0:00:44.040,0:00:46.380
Let's start with sexual orientation.

0:00:46.880,0:00:48.420
This is shown as the heart,

0:00:48.573,0:00:51.014
as it's about who you are emotionally

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

0:00:54.310,0:00:56.552
One person might be attracted to someone

0:00:56.702,0:00:58.435
of a different gender to themselves.

0:00:58.689,0:01:01.520
For example, a woman[br]who is heterosexual

0:01:01.628,0:01:02.961
is attracted to men.

0:01:04.231,0:01:06.630
Another person might be [br]attracted to someone

0:01:06.630,0:01:08.583
of the same gender as themselves.

0:01:08.906,0:01:11.706
For example, a woman[br]who is a lesbian

0:01:11.890,0:01:13.595
is attracted to other women.

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

0:01:17.150,0:01:18.560
of more than one gender.

0:01:19.020,0:01:21.849
For example, a woman[br]who is bisexual

0:01:21.969,0:01:24.560
is attracted to both men and women.

0:01:26.653,0:01:29.580
Now, let's talk about gender identity.

0:01:30.140,0:01:31.673
This is shown as the brain

0:01:31.940,0:01:35.880
as it's about how you think [br]and feel about yourself and your gender.

0:01:36.380,0:01:39.719
Some people identify [br]as either a woman or a man.

0:01:40.019,0:01:41.954
This is a common way of thinking.

0:01:42.250,0:01:44.440
But actually many people feel

0:01:44.623,0:01:47.143
that they don't fit[br]with these two genders

0:01:47.730,0:01:50.211
They might feel [br]they are a mixture of the two

0:01:50.559,0:01:53.309
or are something else [br]that can't be clearly defined.

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

0:01:55.749,0:01:58.620
might reflect the sex [br]that they were assigned at birth

0:01:59.030,0:02:00.270
or it might not.

0:02:00.710,0:02:03.000
For example, a trans woman

0:02:03.110,0:02:05.443
might have been described [br]as male at birth,

0:02:05.690,0:02:07.996
but now identifies as female.

0:02:08.798,0:02:10.650
Now, gender expression.

0:02:10.980,0:02:13.180
this involves the whole person,

0:02:13.330,0:02:15.450
because it is about[br]the different ways

0:02:15.610,0:02:18.018
that you communicate[br]your gender identity

0:02:18.183,0:02:19.479
to the outside world.

0:02:19.890,0:02:21.610
This could include how you dress,

0:02:21.770,0:02:22.986
what haircut you have,

0:02:23.220,0:02:25.190
how you act or what name you use.

0:02:26.030,0:02:29.021
Finally, let's talk [br]about sex characteristics.

0:02:29.210,0:02:32.300
We show these as genitalia[br]because they reflect whether

0:02:32.448,0:02:36.448
wether someone is biologically[br]and physically female or male

0:02:36.654,0:02:38.770
as well as your external genitalia,

0:02:39.040,0:02:40.580
sex characteristics include

0:02:40.660,0:02:45.109
your hormones, chromosomes, body shape,[br]voice speech and body hair.

0:02:45.479,0:02:47.352
a person who is intersex

0:02:47.519,0:02:49.376
is born with sex characteristics

0:02:49.490,0:02:51.891
that are not completely[br]male or female

0:02:52.221,0:02:54.138
they are a combination of both

0:02:54.651,0:02:56.960
so let's put all the pieces together

0:02:57.550,0:02:59.438
sexual orientation is about

0:02:59.559,0:03:03.410
who you are emotionally, physically[br]and sexually attracted to.

0:03:03.540,0:03:06.436
gender identity is about how you think

0:03:06.533,0:03:08.848
and feel about yourself[br]and your gender.

0:03:09.160,0:03:11.350
Gender expression is about[br]how you communicate

0:03:11.590,0:03:14.970
your gender identity[br]to the outside world

0:03:15.380,0:03:18.560
and sex characteristics[br]are about your biology,

0:03:18.788,0:03:21.640
such as genitalia hormones[br]and body shape.

0:03:22.150,0:03:24.913
Each of us has a sexual orientation,

0:03:25.035,0:03:29.500
gender identity, gender expression[br]and sex characteristics.

0:03:30.070,0:03:34.125
They combine to make up[br]a unique SOGIESC identity.

0:03:34.525,0:03:36.110
SOGIESC is fluid.

0:03:36.330,0:03:39.286
This means that there are lots[br]of different options

0:03:39.350,0:03:41.174
with no right or wrong way to be

0:03:41.390,0:03:43.989
also things can change over time.

0:03:44.380,0:03:47.705
Our SOGIESC identity[br]combines with other factors

0:03:47.950,0:03:50.087
such as our age, where we live,

0:03:50.279,0:03:53.648
whether we are rich or poor,[br]or whether we have a disability

0:03:53.773,0:03:55.090
to make who we are.

0:03:55.440,0:03:58.250
It also affects our power in society!

0:03:58.940,0:04:01.539
Sometimes people are discriminated

0:04:01.629,0:04:04.080
or excluded because[br]of their sexual orientation,

0:04:04.330,0:04:08.440
gender identity, gender expression[br]and sex characteristics.

0:04:08.910,0:04:12.550
This includes people[br]who identify as lesbian, gay,

0:04:12.770,0:04:16.284
bisexual, trans, intersex[br]or questioning,

0:04:16.420,0:04:19.203
known as LGBTIQ+.

0:04:19.633,0:04:22.457
We all have the right to define

0:04:22.547,0:04:25.450
and be proud of[br]our soggiest identity

0:04:25.870,0:04:29.535
there is no needto stereotype[br]or harm people.

0:04:29.935,0:04:31.490
Everyone is unique.

0:04:31.695,0:04:33.980
We must all recognize accept

0:04:34.077,0:04:36.259
and celebrate this diversity.
