00:00:01,574 --> 00:00:05,404
Plan International is committed 
to achieving gender equality

3
00:00:05,548 --> 00:00:07,848
and fostering an inclusive society.

4
00:00:08,770 --> 00:00:12,814
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 --> 00:00:22,708
gender identity,

9
00:00:22,903 --> 00:00:25,543
gender expression
and sex characteristics

10
00:00:25,788 --> 00:00:27,729
or SOGIESC for short.

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,303
But what actually is SOGIESC?

12
00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:33,836
Let's break it down, 
using the SOGIESC person.

13
00:00:34,450 --> 00:00:38,336
This helps us understand 
that each of the individual terms

14
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:40,650
has a different meaning and combined

15
00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:43,629
they make up a person's SOGIESC identity.

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,380
Let's start with sexual orientation.

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,420
This is shown as the heart,

18
00:00:48,573 --> 00:00:51,014
as it's about who you are emotionally

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

20
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:56,552
One person might be attracted to someone

21
00:00:56,702 --> 00:00:58,435
of a different gender to themselves.

22
00:00:58,689 --> 00:01:01,520
For example, a woman
who is heterosexual

23
00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:02,961
is attracted to men.

24
00:01:04,231 --> 00:01:06,630
Another person might be 
attracted to someone

25
00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:08,583
of the same gender as themselves.

26
00:01:08,906 --> 00:01:11,706
For example, a woman
who is a lesbian

27
00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:13,595
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 --> 00:01:18,560
of more than one gender.

30
00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:21,849
For example, a woman
who is bisexual

31
00:01:21,969 --> 00:01:24,560
is attracted to both men and women.

32
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:29,580
Now, let's talk about gender identity.

33
00:01:30,140 --> 00:01:31,673
This is shown as the brain

34
00:01:31,940 --> 00:01:35,880
as it's about how you think 
and feel about yourself and your gender.

35
00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:39,719
Some people identify 
as either a woman or a man.

36
00:01:40,019 --> 00:01:41,954
This is a common way of thinking.

37
00:01:42,250 --> 00:01:44,440
But actually many people feel

38
00:01:44,623 --> 00:01:47,143
that they don't fit
with these two genders

39
00:01:47,730 --> 00:01:50,211
They might feel 
they are a mixture of the two

40
00:01:50,559 --> 00:01:53,309
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 --> 00:01:58,620
might reflect the sex 
that they were assigned at birth

43
00:01:59,030 --> 00:02:00,270
or it might not.

44
00:02:00,710 --> 00:02:03,000
For example, a trans woman

45
00:02:03,110 --> 00:02:05,443
might have been described 
as male at birth,

46
00:02:05,690 --> 00:02:07,996
but now identifies as female.

47
00:02:08,798 --> 00:02:10,650
Now, gender expression.

48
00:02:10,980 --> 00:02:13,180
this involves the whole person,

49
00:02:13,330 --> 00:02:15,450
because it is about
the different ways

50
00:02:15,610 --> 00:02:18,018
that you communicate
your gender identity

51
00:02:18,183 --> 00:02:19,479
to the outside world.

52
00:02:19,890 --> 00:02:21,610
This could include how you dress,

53
00:02:21,770 --> 00:02:22,986
what haircut you have,

54
00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:25,190
how you act or what name you use.

55
00:02:26,030 --> 00:02:29,021
Finally, let's talk 
about sex characteristics.

56
00:02:29,210 --> 00:02:32,300
We show these as genitalia
because they reflect whether

57
00:02:32,448 --> 00:02:36,448
wether someone is biologically
and physically female or male

58
00:02:36,654 --> 00:02:38,770
as well as your external genitalia,

59
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,580
sex characteristics include

60
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:45,109
your hormones, chromosomes, body shape,
voice speech and body hair.

61
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:47,352
a person who is intersex

62
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:49,376
is born with sex characteristics

63
00:02:49,490 --> 00:02:51,891
that are not completely
male or female

64
00:02:52,221 --> 00:02:54,138
they are a combination of both

65
00:02:54,651 --> 00:02:56,960
so let's put all the pieces together

66
00:02:57,550 --> 00:02:59,438
sexual orientation is about

67
00:02:59,559 --> 00:03:03,410
who you are emotionally, physically
and sexually attracted to.

68
00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:06,436
gender identity is about how you think

69
00:03:06,533 --> 00:03:08,848
and feel about yourself
and your gender.

70
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,350
Gender expression is about
how you communicate

71
00:03:11,590 --> 00:03:14,970
your gender identity
to the outside world

72
00:03:15,380 --> 00:03:18,560
and sex characteristics
are about your biology,

73
00:03:18,788 --> 00:03:21,640
such as genitalia hormones
and body shape.

74
00:03:22,150 --> 00:03:24,913
Each of us has a sexual orientation,

75
00:03:25,035 --> 00:03:29,500
gender identity, gender expression
and sex characteristics.

76
00:03:30,070 --> 00:03:34,125
They combine to make up
a unique SOGIESC identity.

77
00:03:34,525 --> 00:03:36,110
SOGIESC is fluid.

78
00:03:36,330 --> 00:03:39,286
This means that there are lots
of different options

79
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:41,174
with no right or wrong way to be

80
00:03:41,390 --> 00:03:43,989
also things can change over time.

81
00:03:44,380 --> 00:03:47,705
Our SOGIESC identity
combines with other factors

82
00:03:47,950 --> 00:03:50,087
such as our age, where we live,

83
00:03:50,279 --> 00:03:53,648
whether we are rich or poor,
or whether we have a disability

84
00:03:53,773 --> 00:03:55,090
to make who we are.

85
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,250
It also affects our power in society!

86
00:03:58,940 --> 00:04:01,539
Sometimes people are discriminated

87
00:04:01,629 --> 00:04:04,080
or excluded because
of their sexual orientation,

88
00:04:04,330 --> 00:04:08,440
gender identity, gender expression
and sex characteristics.

89
00:04:08,910 --> 00:04:12,550
This includes people
who identify as lesbian, gay,

90
00:04:12,770 --> 00:04:16,284
bisexual, trans, intersex
or questioning,

91
00:04:16,420 --> 00:04:19,203
known as LGBTIQ+.

92
00:04:19,633 --> 00:04:22,457
We all have the right to define

93
00:04:22,547 --> 00:04:25,450
and be proud of
our soggiest identity

94
00:04:25,870 --> 00:04:29,535
there is no needto stereotype
or harm people.

95
00:04:29,935 --> 00:04:31,490
Everyone is unique.

96
00:04:31,695 --> 00:04:33,980
We must all recognize accept

97
00:04:34,077 --> 00:04:36,259
and celebrate this diversity.

98
00:04:36,729 --> 00:04:41,387
