- 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.

Eine gerechte Zukunft für den geschundenen Planeten Erde
There are no more nation states. A world government controls the most important subject areas for every human being equally, without prejudicing or discriminating against any area, any continent, any religion. No one in the world has to go hungry or worse: Suffering from thirst. In every country there are countless centers where people have access to the knowledge of humanity, in the form of books, images, sounds, music, films, files and and and. An intelligent system of computers, data centers, public offices, etc. pp. ensures that the knowledge just described is not distorted, distorted or even destroyed. Many diseases that still plague humanity at present (2025) have either been "exterminated" or reduced to a minimum. The rights of ethnic minorities are not suppressed. It is possible to travel virtually, not only to all desired areas on this earth, but also back in time. The energy supply is largely managed by solar energy, fossil materials or nuclear fuels are only used in exceptional cases or for the purpose of historical research

In 2040, they had cars that don't need gasoline, but will work on electricity, and everything will be avomtatitzed at all. Something will probably change about the exploration of the universe and the worlds around us. I wish there were no wars, but that's not going to happen. I think we're going to live in such a polluted world in 2040 that it's going to be pretty bad. Social disparities will increase, there will be too many people in the world, so I'm worried about how it will be. Artificial intelligence will be everywhere in our lives. It will probably have a negative impact on all of us, there will certainly be no greater prosperity. I imagine that everything goes to hell if we don't fundamentally change our relationship with the Earth and the environment. I'll be gone, but I'm worried about future generations.

By 2040, there will be no war in Europe. Everyone has an open dialogue with other countries and all countries in Europe are democracies where regular elections are held. There is freedom for people to move across borders. There are many opportunities for jobs and to develop.There is the freedom to express one's opinion even if not everyone likes it. In addition, there are strict enough laws for harsh crimes against people such as rape and murder. Children's rights are respected and corruption is something that does not exist and also something that is not tolerated.

The artificial intellect is the future of the 2040s and beyond. It will also be a positive and negative aspect of human life. Harmful because the privacy of a person may disappear, and the advantage that a person will be integrated into the wider world of technology, this will allow a better knowledge of human health, life. In the future, climate problems will be much more pronounced. Water levels will rise drastically and air pollution will be the highest in human history. Together with technology, people will strive to scale up and finally improve the Green Deal. The current struggle in Ukraine, in the geopolitical world, is deciding the future of the Ruropa states first in 100 years, so today we must take measures not only to reduce pollution, but also to support the states fighting for democracy. Otherwise, we will find ourselves in a witness situation where the war on the European continent will affect every European and take us back, not 100 years.
