International Left Handers Day is an international day observed annually on August 13 to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of the left handers.
The day was first observed in 1976 by Dean R. Campbell, founder of the Lefthanders International, Inc.


International Left Hander's Day was created to celebrate sinistrality and raise awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed in a predominantly right-handed world.

It celebrates left-handed people’s uniqueness and differences, a subset of humanity comprising seven to ten percent of the world's population.
The day also spread awareness on issues faced by left-handers e.g. the importance of the special needs for left-handed children, and the likelihood for left-handers to develop schizophrenia.
There are approximately 708 million left-handed people in the world.
Men are more likely to be left handed than women.

What do Barack Obama, George H.W. Bush, Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga have in common?

Aside from their philanthropy, popularity and all-around inspiration, they're also all left-handed.
So if you're a lefty, give yourself a round of applause. 

There have been eight U.S. presidents who were left-handed including: James Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

1 in 4 Apollo astronauts were left-handed, 250% more lefties than the normal level of probability for the group.

Studies show lefties adjust easier to seeing underwater and studies have found evidence linking left-handedness and intellectual creativity.

Lefties are better drivers according to a study from the Center for Handedness Research and The Zebra.
The study looked at the driving habits and accident rates of 1,500 drivers over 10 years and found that the left-handed drivers had fewer accidents. In addition, an AA Driving School poll found 57% of lefties pass their driving test the first time compared with 47% of righties.

A study found that right-handers, on average, live to be nine years older than left-handers.

The highest rates of left-handedness can be found in North America, Australia, New Zealand and western Europe. Whereas the lowest rates, between 4 and 6%, are found in Asia, Africa and South America.

Left-handed people are more affected by fear.
According to research conducted in the U.K., lefties gave more fragmented accounts when asked to recall events from a dramatic film clip.

Good to hear that you did not discourage your son and daughter from using their left hands.

Some persons still think it is odd to allow a child to use his left hand.

I hope that the awareness will continue to spread to the grassroots.

Being a lefty does not one less a human.

Those who are lefties are great men and women.

It Is Archaic And Anachronistic Imposing Right Hand On Children. It Got To A Stage I Was Confused To The Extent I Felt Humilated By Elders Who Will Always Tell You How Disrespectful I Was Just For Receiving Or Giving Them Something With Left Hand As A Child.

Amen. I'm Filled With Joy Seeing My Beautiful Angel Throwing Objects With Her Left Hand. My Son Doesn't Miss Target While Throwing Stone. I Dearly Love Them That Way.
