Today, 𝟐𝟖 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥, we remember the countless workers who have lost their lives, health, and dignity due to unsafe and unfair working conditions, which come with occupational risks, injuries, and diseases.
From the 1993 Zhili factory fire in Shenzhen and Kader factory fire in Thailand, the 2013 Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh, to the ongoing struggles of the 2020 LG Vizag gas leak in India, the 2023 Morowali Park explosion in Indonesia, and asbestos victims across Asia, these tragedies remind us of the heavy cost of neglect, corporate greed, and the lack of government accountability.
We honor the voices of victims and survivors. We must listen to them, stand with them, and demand real change. Justice must not end with remembrance; it must drive action for safer workplaces and stronger protection for all workers.
