Dignity and Welfare question feels contradictory

Personality question. In particular this one:

The dignity and welfare of people should be the most important concern in any society

This is confusing to me, as dignity can be misinterpreted completely from welfare. If I'm a radical Muslim, for instance, my dignity is how people see me, my family, and my wife. However, to say my dignity is important might inadvertantly put my wife at risk, if she was accused of cheating on me. In some societies, maintaining dignity in the family means the wife, daughter, etc., gets stoned to death.

I feel confused about this question, as I see dignity having a direct effect on welfare, in an inverse way.

So I can say i strongly agree about a society's welfare (as I'm interpreting it to be basic needs as housing and food and water), but dignity is, at times, immoral as it effects welfare directly.
