International Labour Day, also known as May Day or Workers’ Day, is observed on 1 May every year across the world to honour the contributions and struggles of workers and the labour movement. The day traces its origins to the late 19th-century labour movements, which demanded better working conditions, fair wages, and regulated working hours. It serves as a reminder of the importance of workers in building and sustaining economies and societies. Today, various countries mark the occasion through rallies, awareness programmes, and events that highlight workers’ rights, dignity of labour, and social and economic justice.
