- 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.

A balance between freedom and security. More horizontal links.

Europe's future is secure, with convenient transport links to any point in the union. Low taxes, allowing entrepreneurship to develop. Improved public services allowing most actions to be done electronically, like in Estonia. Fewer regulatory restrictions (environmental, AI, etc.). Compulsory higher education for all citizens. More nuclear power plants and compact safe reactors. Less bureaucracy, more horizonal links and public self-regulation on the ground.

I imagine that I am in Pula, alive and healthy and my family is healthy. As I currently have health problems, I imagine and wish that quality health protection is available to people at all times that it is free and of good quality. For everyone. I imagine that I live in a society where no disease is stigmatized and that society prioritises the elderly, the sick and the disabled. I imagine that as humans we have overcome greed, egoism and care for each other. And again that we have bedpmatous health, everyone has free medication, free dental services and that then mental hygiene will be a priority. Namely, everyone can do without shame and fear to go regularly to the psychologist for discussion and advice. Every nation has priority for the health of its inhabitants , both physically and mentally. For what kind of nation and civilization are we if the health service is not available to everyone and not to profit from someone's illness and powerlessness. Healthy people are the basis for a healthy society.

Sociālā afvērtība - brīvības bira

Freedom in social networks will allow to follow people's actions, promote responsibility both privately and for officials. We will also have acquired personal responsibility for action not only in reality, but also in social networks, and thus we will be able to communicate productively and interestingly. We will not seek hatred in disputes, but grains of understanding. We will have calmed down the race for material benefits - we will live more slowly, buy less but better quality items. We will be able to see within ourselves and around us the spark of humanity.

on est vraiment sur la mauvaise pente

For me 2050 will have to take up the most important points of the past, a slower life, less technology, less social control, more freedom, a true democracy and not that of today where those who have the most power have never been chosen by the people, a sovereign Belgium that can make its own choices while working with its neighbours, including our Russian friends. More contact between people in cafes and resting, in the cinema, and less life via screen. And in our plate especially keep the quality of our local craftsmen and not the m*** indstrielle transcheese. Let us also return to traditional values and let the woke of the left find themselves in their real place ... in the asylum because they are dangerous And especially not touch my real steack raised with grass by farmers who love their craft. You will have understood ... the very opposite of the desires of the globalists of the EU:-)
