Dignity and respect are crucial to building and sustaining an environment in which everyone feels included, valued, and appreciated. Join us in our Dignity and Respect Campaign by making sure that inclusion is at the core of what you do every day.
Every day we have the opportunity to test our commitment to dignity and respect through our behaviors. The tips below (and featured in the PDF brochure and poster, as well as the video) encourage us all to be mindful of our interactions with others and to commit to treating others the way they want to be treated. By practicing a tip each day, we can all work to achieve a more inclusive community.
Here are some things you can do to support the Dignity and Respect Campaign:
- Pick one tip each day, and follow it.
- Print out the poster and brochure included below, and place them in a visible location.
- Incorporate the dignity and respect tips and pledge into existing events and activities.
- Select a tip to be a theme for a meeting or event.
- Introduce someone new to the Dignity and Respect Campaign.
- Add a dignity and respect footer to your e-mail messages (for example, “Inclusion begins with a core belief that everyone deserves dignity and respect,” or select one of the 30 tips).
- When you witness acts of dignity and respect, acknowledge them.
- Start using the phrase "dignity and respect" — and when you say it, mean it.
