- 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.

Mier, spokojnosz a blahobyt.
In 2040, I wish there were peace and no wars. Not in Europe or anywhere else in the world. Everyone should work in the industry they enjoy. Everyone should be financially secure. Finally, I would like to see free health and education for everyone to make the difference.

Budućnost za ljudskost i poštenje
In 2040, after numerous failed attempts by certain "perspective" politicians and their "successful" policies, it was finally concluded that man is the center of all events and that the human values of honesty, honesty and above all humanity are most important in the further successful development of life and society as a whole. Freedom assumed by man and his noble ideas of equality and equality of all. Man, not technology, AI or something else that humanity subordinates to the interests of a rich minority who in their greed and selfishness and desire to subordinate others to themselves and their selfish interests that have led to the pollution of the Planet, unrest, wars in Ukraine, the Far East, the Balkans and the destruction of more than half of humanity.

Ζώντας σε αρμονία με τη φύση.
In 2040 people live close to nature without stress. I live with my family near the sea, work out every day and enjoy the environment without environmental threats. I have animals and birds in the yard of my house and I spend many hours caring for them. Harmony with nature is reality.

w krótkim skrócie co nas czeka w niedalekiej przyszłości
I think that in 2040 there will be an increase in the gap between rich and poor areas. Unfortunately, wars and conflicts will probably not disappear, and the strongest countries will take advantage of the poorer ones. I am afraid that the level of environmental pollution will continue to increase and in 2024 humanity will have to support itself with some kind of masks with filters. In addition, we will be surrounded by a multitude of robots, which, among others, will mainly be used in areas such as care for the elderly. In addition, education will change completely in 15 years, traditional books, notebooks, exercises will be completely replaced by multimedia content and artificial intelligence will be used to a much greater extent in this area. Thinking about our country, if we maintain the pace of development, the whole country will develop, many areas will be even more beautiful, villages will become even more suburbs and "bedrooms" for larger cities, where professional work will be concentrated.
