This conference aims to foster a global dialogue on human dignity, humiliation, and the intersection of these themes with pressing global challenges, such as mental health and climate change. The conference will be an opportunity to reflect on the global mission of advancing human dignity and preventing cycles of humiliation that might cause psychopathology at the global level, particularly in regions like South Asia that are experiencing social, environmental, and mental health-related risks for individuals and communities.
