2. What is SEX?
• Sex - In the Philippines, sex is still largely viewed as
a taboo topic, especially in public discourse. There
are conservative social norms around sex, with
premarital sex and extramarital affairs generally
frowned upon.
3. What is SEXUALITY?
• Sexuality - Philippine society is becoming more
tolerant of different sexualities, though at a gradual
pace. Homosexuality was decriminalized in the
Philippines in 1993. While LGBT rights have
advanced in some respects, there is still stigma and
discrimination faced by the LGBT community.
Same-sex marriage remains illegal.
4. What is GENDER?
• Gender - The Philippines has a largely traditional
view of gender roles, with women generally
expected to take on caregiving and domestic tasks,
while men are seen as breadwinners.
5. Action plans to counter abuses or
discrimination about gender
• Ensure equal access to education.
• Empower women in the workplace.
• Protect reproductive rights.
• Strengthen legal protections.
• Provide better medical care.
• Achieve better political representation
• Prioritize the most marginalized
6. Reinforce erroneous acts that show
disrespect towards the different
genders.
• Doing wrong acts or behaviors and treating
someone unequally or disadvantageously because
of his or her gender. This includes
harrassment/discremination based on sex, gender
identity or gender expression.ous
7. Examples:
• > using crude or harmful language because of their
gender or gender expression.
• > intimidating someone because of their gender.
• > bullying or harrassing someone because their
gender.
8. What constitutes sex?
• Constitute Sex any act involving contact with the
vulva, clitoris, vagina, anus, penis, or testicles
between one or more consenting people for the
purpose of sexual pleasure could constitute doing
the deed.
9. Primary Characteristic
( Reproductive organs)
• Male primary sex characteristics are the penis, the
scrotum and the ability to ejaculate when matured.
• Female primary sex characteristics are the vagina,
uterus, fallopian tubes, clitoris, cervix, and the
ability to give birth and menstruate when matured.
10. Secondary Characteristics
• A secondary sex characteristic is a physical
characteristic of an organism that is related to or
derived from its sex, but not directly part of its
reproductive system.In humans, these
characteristics typically start to appear during
puberty.
11. Height, Bones, and Structure
• The main function of the skeletal system is that it
provides a framework to the body and provides shape.
• Along with the muscular system, the skeletal system
helps in the movement of the body parts of the body
and locomotion of the body.
• The skeletal system is hard and so forms a protective
layer for the softer, more delicate organs from any form
of injury.
• The rib cage protects the heart, lungs and visceral
organs, the brain is protected by the skull etc. It is the
growth and development of bones that provides the
height and width of an individual.
12. Roles
• The female reproductive system plays a major role
in regulating the acquisition and loss of bone by the
skeleton from menarche through senescence.
Onset of gonadal sex steroid secretion at puberty is
the major factor responsible for skeletal
longitudinal and radial growth, as well as significant
gain in bone density, until peak bone density is
achieved in third decade of life.
13. • At menopause, decreased gonadal sex steroid
production normally leads to rapid bone loss. The
most rapid bone loss associated with decreased
estrogen levels occurs in the first 8–10 years after
menopause, with slower age-related bone loss
occurring during later life.
14. Characteristics Of Human
• Human reproductive system, organ system by
which humans reproduce. In females,
the ovaries sit near the openings of the fallopian
tubes, which carry eggs from the ovaries to the
uterus. The cervix extends from the lower end of
the uterus into the vagina, whose opening as well
as that of the urethra (see urinary system), is
covered by four folds of skin (the labia) the clitoris,
a small erectile organ, is located where the labia
join in front.
15. • By birth the organs appropriate to each sex have
typically developed but are not functioning. They
continue to grow, and at puberty their activity
increases and maturation occurs, enabling sexual
reproduction.
16. Male Reproductive System
• The male gonads are the testes they are the source
of spermatozoa and also of male sex hormones
called androgens. The other genital organs are the
epididymides the ductus, or vasa, deferentia
the seminal vesicles the ejaculatory ducts and the
penis as well as certain accessory structures,
17. Female Reproductive System
• The female reproductive system is made up of the
internal and external sex organs that function in
the reproduction of new offspring.
18. Reproductive Activities
• The concept of gender roles, refers to the activities
ascribed to women and men on the basis of their
perceived differences. Gender roles are socially
determined, change over time and space and are
influenced by social, cultural and environmental
factors characterizing a certain society, community
or historical period.
