English term or phrase: Right to dignity
Dear colleagues , I'm nicely stuck while translating this phrase into Urdu. This is a heading in a document " Rules and Regulations ". The final translation will be given to new students coming to live in a hostel. So the administration of the hostel has prepared RULES AND REGULATIONS of the building. There are several rules described in the document. This term " Right to dignity" describes that every one should respect each other's faith , language, religion, opinions, nationality gender , skin color, physical attributes etc etc.

So, considering the above , i'm not sure how to translate " Right to dignity " in Urdu. I want something starts with حق۔ ، ut I'm open to read your valuable suggestions.

Thank you everyone.

right to dignity
عزتِ نفس کا حق


Explanation:
I think عزت نفس would convey the message of dignity. In my humble opinion, this is a right which directly affects the dignity of a person.


Example sentence(s):
  • کسی کی عزتِ نفس مجروح کرنا آپ کو زیب نہیں دیتا۔ Violating the dignity (self-respect) of a person does not suit you.
