Across Asia, members of the ANROEV network came together in different ways, but with one shared purpose: to remember workers whose lives were lost, and to keep fighting for those still at risk.
From tributes and testimonies to actions and collective calls for safer workplaces, these commemorations show that remembrance is not passive — it is a commitment.

Let these moments remind us: our work does not end with remembrance. We carry it forward.
Across Indonesia and the wider region, unions including HUKATAN, SPPK-FSPMI, SERBUK, TEIUPM and BWI Asia Pacific are marking Workers’ Memorial Day with an extensive programme of meetings, campaigns, training and advocacy. Activities range from workplace discussions and OSH seminars to international “Too Hot To Work” campaigning, climate justice policy work and legal advocacy. Together, these initiatives highlight the growing impact of heat stress and climate change on workers while strengthening organisation, awareness and collective action for safer conditions.
