Dignity day

Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world celebrate all that unites us throughout
the month of October. GLOBAL Dignity Day is celebrated to make everyone realise that each
citizen living in this world has their rights and deserves respect. Dignity means the state or
quality of being worthy of honour and respect, or human rights. Some examples of dignity are
dignity of labour and dignity of education, etc.

The third Wednesday of October recognizes Global Dignity Day. The initiative educates & inspires youth
to help them better understand their self-worth. The day also taps into the values of kindness,
understanding, tolerance, and compassion
We define dignity as the state or quality of being worthy of honor and respect. The primary principles of
Global Dignity Day include:
The right of every human being to live a dignified life
Access to health care, education, income, and security to help reach one’s full potential
The freedom to make decisions about one’s life
Dignity as the guiding factor for every action
Our dignity is interdependent with the dignity of others.

The dignity Day

My dignity with me, yours with you;
I fall to the deepest pits,
When I consider myself,
Better than you, and indulge in self-praise, eh.
But,
Let alone dignity, you get GLORIFIED;
When you love others irrespective of their faults.

DIGNITY
What does it mean?
To be asked and respected and even been seen?
Do you know who I am, how I feel or my name?
Do you see me as vulnerable, old, or, in emotional pain?
I have a voice, a mind and a soul
Do YOU care what I think, can YOU help me be whole?
I am able to think, choose and desire
Whatever I do, I aim to aspire
Be it large or small goals they ARE important to me
So, don’t be afraid to ask, you see,
WITH your support, your care and your smile
I will feel valued, cared for with a happy lifestyle.
Just suppose, it was you sitting here,
How would you feel – would you feel fear?
Would you want people kind, caring and true?
People around to make time for you?
