Dignity is our inherent value and worth as human beings.
Everyone is born with it. Respect, on the other hand, is earned through one’s actions.

Human dignity is the foundation of all human rights.

Human dignity is closely associated with the commitment “never again” - that never again should there be atrocities of the kind in the Second World War.
René Cassin, who likely inserted the word “dignity” into Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, explained that he had wanted to refute the horrors of Nazi Germany and stress “the fundamental principle of the unity of the human race.” https://www.iep.utm.edu/hum-dign/ https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1838597 page 195.
Universal human dignity focuses on the inherent worth of each individual.
Each human being is born with the same amount of universal dignity. Universal human dignity does not depend on intelligence, morality, or social status.

Human dignity refers to the inherent and inalienable value of every human being which cannot be destroyed, taken away or measured. Human dignity is not dependent or conditional on anything. Human dignity simply results from being human and can refer to individuals, groups or people as a species. https://www.alzheimer-europe.org/Ethics/Definitions-and-approaches/Other-ethical-principles/Dignity
During a turnaround of a badly performing hospital, people contributed most to the change initiative when they believed that doing so would increase their control over their work and work environment. Hospital workers managed to turn things around because they were treated with dignity – which they experience as self-worth,
self-respect, and the respect of others. https://hbr.org/2014/04/the-power-of-dignity-in-the-workplace
#2 Autonomy is the ground of the dignity of human nature
Immanuel Kant connects dignity to being a self-legislating individual, and so autonomy is the ground of the
dignity of human nature and of every rational nature.

Among dignity in care principles are  listening and supporting people to express their needs and wants.  enabling people to maintain the maximum possible level of
independence, choice and control.

Universal human dignity does not judge a person’s reasoning, choices or criteria for self-worth. Universal human dignity remains
neutral about what a good life is. Universal human dignity focuses on human potential - not the exercise of such potential.

Saying “Bonjour, Madame” at the bakery before ordering your bread is a voluntary act that acknowledges that although the employee is there to serve the customer, she is first and foremost a human being with dignity and the autonomy to decide how
she will perform her job. It’s also the secret to getting great customer service in France.

Human dignity has a strong relationship with equality and liberty.

#3 Dignity is inclusive
Dignity is inclusive. There are no nobodies in a dignitarian society. Rather, dignity is democratized. It's everyone's birthright. It is also everyone's responsibility to stop putting others down.

After people learn about dignity, a remarkable thing happens. Everyone recognizes that we all have a deep, human desire to be
treated as something of value.
