International Non-Binary People's Day is observed each year on 14 July and is aimed at raising awareness and organising around the issues faced by non-binary people around the world. The day was first celebrated in 2012. The date was chosen for being precisely between International Men's Day and International Women's Day.
Most countries in the world do not recognize non-binary as a legal gender, meaning most non-binary people still have a gendered passport and official identification. Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, the Netherlands and New Zealand include non-binary gender options on passports, and 18 US states allow residents to mark their gender as 'X' on their driving licence.
Non-Binary Week is the week surrounding Non-Binary People's Day, starting on Monday and ending on Sunday.
