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, started by Katje van Loon. The date was chosen for being precisely midway between International Men's Day and International Women's Day.
Non-Binary Awareness Week is the week starting on the Monday preceding International Non-Binary People's Day on 14 July. This is an LGBTQ+ awareness period dedicated to those who do not identify with the traditional gender binary, i.e. those who do not exclusively identify as a man or a woman, or who may identify as both a man and a woman, or may identify outside of these categories altogether.
