- Inclusive language is used when we talk about menstruation, we use the term menstruator over girls or women. Not every woman menstruates and not every menstruator is a woman, for example, trans, intersex or non-binary people might also have a menstrual cycle.

- Every menstruator knows what they need to know about how their body works, including the menstrual cycle.

- The right education on menstruation and the female body in general (also for men) is standard in education.

- Every menstruator has access to safe and hygienic menstrual products and can manage their period with dignity regarding sanitation (ex. running water and private toilets) and community stigma. (Including the underserved populations such as incarcerated and homeless menstruators).

- No more tampon tax; menstrual products are acknowledged as necessities. A basic need rather than a luxury.

- Menstrual products are free to everyone who needs them. They are provided in public institutions such as schools, universities, libraries, community buildings, etc. or menstrual products are included in basic health insurance.

- Everyone (including men) can talk openly about menstruation and without shame.

-Menstruation is seen as a natural bodily event, the taboo and shame surrounding it no longer exist. Or government institutions, together with activists are fighting this taboo and stigma actively.

- Inclusive and diverse medical support and knowledge. The medical world has the right facts on menstrual and hormonal health, acknowledges that there is no "one-size fits all approach and doesn't view menstruation solely as a problem that needs to be solved. Therefore research of reproductive and hormonal health (also regarding non-female menstruators) has enough funds and is seen as important.

- The industry of menstrual products does not view menstruation as a way to make a profit, packaging, and advertisements are no-nonsense, include ingredients and are period positive (or at least neutral), and ideally the manufacturers focus on fighting the stigma rather than exploiting it.

- Menstrual products are sustainable.
