Abstract
The author delves into the concept of dignity and how it is under attack in different forms, from the forced donation of a kidney to the underserved population of the Global South. The author explores how the majority population displaces responsibility for a certain outcome and places it on the disadvantaged themselves. It also looks at how political dignity is attacked when individuals are required to reveal their disadvantage to qualify for compensation. However, this chapter also highlights how the concept of dignity can be successfully challenged, as seen in the recognition of three extensive geographical regions in New Zealand as legal persons to Mātauranga Māori, a happy marriage of personhood plus nonhuman dignity. Along with dignity, the author studies engagement because both concepts are essential in Bodi. They bring to light the ways in which displacement can harm individuals and communities and highlight the importance of recognizing and respecting their humanity, agency, and knowledge.
