Left Handers Day 👍
August 13th
August 13 is the International Left-Handers’ Day!
Left-Hander’s Day is the day when we motivate Left-Handed People. It was firstly celebrated in 1976 to promote awareness for them and show the struggles they face in day to day lives. Life is little critical but noting is impossible. This is the new challenge in our lives. We can take it as challenge. I saw a carpenter who has no hand and making wonderful furniture from their legs. I was wondered to see this.

Handers Day is a chance to tell your family and friends how proud you are of being left-handed, and also raise awareness of the everyday issues that lefties face as we live in a world designed for right-handers.

Are you a leftie or a rightie? If you're part of the 10% of the population that prefer your left then you're in luck because the 13th of August is International Left-handers’ Day. To celebrate, we thought we'd find out why people prefer different hands and how being left-handed wasn't always seen as okay.
- 90% left handed
- 9% right handed
- 1% ambidextrous
Why are some people left-handed?

Today, about one-tenth of the world’s population are southpaws. Why are such a small proportion of people left-handed -- and why does the trait exist in the first place? Daniel M. Abrams investigates how the uneven ratio of lefties and righties gives insight into a balance between competitive and cooperative pressures on human evolution.
Left-Handers Day History
On 13th August 1992 the Club launched International Left-Handers Day, an annual event when left-handers everywhere can celebrate their sinistrality and increase public awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed. This event is now celebrated worldwide, and in the U.K. alone there have been more than 20 regional events to mark the day in recent years – including left-v-right sports matches, a left-handed tea party, pubs using left-handed corkscrews where patrons drank and played pub games with the left hand only, and nationwide “Lefty Zones” where left-handers creativity, adaptability and sporting prowess were celebrated, whilst right-handers were encouraged to try out everyday left-handed objects to see just how awkward it can feel using the wrong equipment!
These events have contributed more than anything else to the general awareness of the difficulties and frustrations left-handers experience in everyday life, and have successfully led to improved product design and greater consideration of our needs by the right-handed majority – although there is still a long way to go!!

15 Facts About Left-Handed People You Probably Didn’t Know
Do you know someone who’s left-handed? Left-handers don’t have it easy. The world is pretty much made for right-handed people. Everything we have comes right-handed in its standard design – lefties have to actually look out for a left-handed model of certain things, or learn to adapt themselves to using right-handed models. The most obvious example I can think of as a righty who’s never had to pay much attention to this? Guitars. A left-handed guitar is a mirror image of a regular guitar. If a lefty were to play a guitar meant for a righty, they’d have to learn how to play backwards since the strings for them would be going thin-thick instead of thick-thin as they usually do.
There are a lot of interesting things to know about lefties. Here’s a list of just a few fascinating facts about them.
1. Roughly 5 to 10% of the population is left-handed.
2. Left-handed people tend to make more use of the right side of their brains.

7. Women over 40 are 128% more likely to give birth to a left-handed baby than women in their 20s.
8. Interestingly, although only 10% of humans are left-handed, dogs, cats, and rats have about a 50/50 chance of being lefties.
9. 1 out of 4 Apollo astronauts was left-handed.
10. There are roughly 30 million lefties in the United States.
11. In the event of an accident taking out their dominant hand, lefties have an easier time than righties in adjusting to writing with the other hand.
