mixed-gender

Men and women

Mixed-gender describes groups, activities, or spaces that include both males and females: mixed-gender sports teams, mixed-gender dormitories.

The term appears in contexts where gender separation has been traditional or where the composition matters for policy or research purposes.

Sometimes interchangeable with coed, though mixed-gender sounds more formal and inclusive of non-binary considerations.
