August 13 marks International Left-Handers Day, a day dedicated to recognizing people who, in a world designed for right-handed people, must overcome unique challenges in everyday scenarios.
In Mexico, a study by Consulta Mitofsky revealed that around 11% of the population is left-handed (approximately between 13 and 14 million), a figure that reinforces the importance of raising awareness about the specific needs of left-handed people in order to exploit their potential in society.
Since 1976, the International Left-Handers Association has sought to celebrate the uniqueness of left-handed people on this day, not only but also to foster understanding and empathy for their needs.
