Global Dignity Day

Global dignity day originated from a project global dignity which is a project of universal right of every human being to lead a dignified life. The organization was established in 2006 by Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, John Hope Bryant and Pekka Himanen.

 

The Dignity project has formulated five dignity principles:

1. Every human being has a right to lead a dignified life.
2. A dignified life means an opportunity to fulfill one’s potential, which is based on having a humane level of health care, education, income and security.
3. Dignity means having the freedom to make decisions on one’s life and to be met with respect for this right.
4. Dignity should be the basic guiding principle for all actions.
5. Ultimately, our own dignity is interdependent with the dignity of others.

 Everyone must have an aim to give each other their rights and to behave equally with everyone and not only the ones who are closer to you. This practice must not only be revealed on the Dignity Day but should be used in our everyday lives.
