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.[1][2][3] The day was first celebrated in 2012,[4] started by Katje van Loon.[5] The date was chosen for being precisely midway between International Men's Day and International Women's Day.[6][7]

Non-Binary Awareness Week is the week starting on the Monday[8][9] preceding International Non-Binary People's Day on 14 July. This is an LGBTQ+ awareness period dedicated to non-binary people.[10][11]
