Global Dignity Day
“The spirit of Ubuntu is very difficult to render into Western language. It speaks of the very essence of being human. You are generous, caring and compassionate. It means that my humanity is bound up in yours,” and embodies the ideas of community, connection, caring and kindness.”
Archbishop Desmond Tutu
On Global Dignity Day, everyone, everywhere is invited to look beyond what divides us and recognize the dignity and humanity we share.
Global Dignity Day is held on the third Wednesday of October, with additional events happening throughout the month of October.
