'Parallel Dignity is the principle that every human being possesses equal and inherent worth, regardless of background, belief, or circumstance. It affirms that rights and recognition must never come at the cost of erasing others. Rather than forcing conformity, parallel dignity calls for respectful, evidence-based accommodations that uphold the distinct needs, esteem, and privacy of all. It provides a framework for resolving conflict by honouring difference without hierarchy — where dignity is not ranked but respected in parallel.'
