- 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.

Given that I am by nature pessimistic, I foresee a future of slow degradation, marked by stagnation and decline. However, I want to hope for those who will come in a sustainable future, characterized by continuous progress and prosperity. A sustainable future is one in which we continue to make progress in areas such as renewable energy, agriculture and sustainable transport. In this scenario, we will have successfully tackled the challenges of climate change and built resilient and sustainable communities that can adapt to changing conditions. This future will be characterized by a strong global economy, with continued investment in new technologies and industries. In addition, this future will see the increasing use of digital technologies to improve the quality of life of people around the world but above all I hope that we can "erase" the word war from the vocabulary of every citizen and that there are no more poor and even diseases such as cancer. I hope that utopia can become a reality.

2050 will bring many changes in our lives as technology continues to shape our world. Advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics and biotechnology will change work processes and enable new ways of living. Many professions will be automated, but new ones will also appear, requiring specialized skills. Despite advances in technology, it will also be important to preserve the environment. In the fight against climate change, countries and companies will invest in renewable energy and sustainable solutions. Cities will become smarter, with greater use of electric vehicles, sustainable buildings and advanced infrastructure. Health and longevity will become a key topic. With the help of advanced medical technologies, people will live longer and healthier lives. 2050 is expected to bring about a more cohesive, technologically advanced, but also more sustainable society, where the balance between progress and nature will be crucial for the future.

The works will be accessible remotely and lively according to their desire, the work will be creative, because monotony and repetitive works will be taken over by technological solutions, transport will be autonomous and only enthusiasts will drive their cars for entertainment, world peace and conflicts will be managed expeditiously and safely - the environment will be monitored everywhere, people will be identified. This is a bit more complicated in terms of privacy, but everything will be arranged in such a way that it will not be abused.

The future will belong to those who have money and power. You can already see this today and this development will be irreversible. Democracies will gradually become part of history. Climate change is much more advanced than we thought and there are wars over land and water and crops.
