Let us all close our eyes and offer a moment of thoughts and prayers to all those who are no longer with us because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Those who have left us: our sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers, wives and husbands, daughters and sons, friends and colleagues faced life head on, with zealous love for the future, for a world without danger to us and the environment.

Their commitment to life and love have sustained them throughout the fight against COVID-19. They may have breath their last, but the lives they lived, and the fights they fought, are forever imprinted in our hearts and minds.

As we continue to grapple with the pandemic, as we continue to fight for a decent work, safe workplace and environment, we hold to our beacon and as the workers of the world commemorate International Workers Memorial Day, we, members of the Asian Network for the Rights of Occupational and Environmental Victims (ANROEV) will continue to “Remember the Dead, and Fight for the Living”

 In remembrance of all known and unknown COVID 19 warriors around the globe.
