Global Dignity Day.

Dignity derives from the Latin dignitas – worthiness, whose root is dignus – worth.

Dignity means that you are a person of infinite worth.

The 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.

Dignity is where we are deemed worthy of honour and respect

  • Dignity is the guiding factor for every action
  • Dignity is evidenced by the values of respect, kindness, understanding, tolerance, and compassion.

We at MHM support this initiative and we would like to focus on pregnancy.  All women are entitled to receive maternity care that at its core provides kindness, understanding, tolerance, and compassion.

All of these factors point to one mission that is “to unite everyone with the belief that we all deserve to live a life of dignity.” And for MHM most especially girls, young women, and pregnant women are entitled to receive respectful maternity care.
