A right is a situation when someone has an entitlement to something.
We have rights to what we're entitled to. We are entitled to what we earn. Earnedness is somehow correlated with effort of one's own.
The path to the respecting of another's entitlements is opened up by the appreciation of one's own entitlements. If one does not acknowledge one's own uprightness, one will be given to hubris.
Dignity is a manifestation of self-ownership, which self-ownership is the basis of reverence.
