 International Non-binary people day 2020

International Non-Binary People’s Day

July 14th is International Non-Binary People's Day! Join the celebration by downloading free social media and print designs. Non-binary people have been around in all societies for a very long time. Someone with a gender identity other than man or woman might identify as non-binary. There is a diverse range of non-binary gender identities including bigender, gender fluid and genderqueer.

Sport has a historic alignment to the gender binary (male and female), however, this doesn’t mean those who identify as Non-Binary should be excluded from participating in sport and recreation. For this year’s International Non-Binary People’s day, Pride in Sport is hosting a free public online event to explore current restrictions faced by non-binary people, and initiatives and case studies that sports can adopt to make their activities and competitions more inclusive for all people.
