My Bucketlist for the World (regarding menstrual equity)

- 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.

Green energy and it's effect
Probably it will be very different - it is very likely that we will use way more electricity (for instance electric cars), but hopefully most of it will be produced by solar/wind energy without huge impact to CO2 emissions. And with less CO2 emissions I hope climate change will be less of an issue to the world.

I wish that humanity was truly considered equal by all and that racism, homophobia would disappear and that there would be greater respect for women and that bullying in all its forms would disappear so that people could live without fear of others and be recognized as different.

I wish for a peaceful world in 2040. The world is open to other people and religions. No war and no hunger, just a better world where people accept and respect each other. No hatred, no violence and no terror and attacks. No people who die in war or in an attack.

The technological future. Robots will no longer be an idea, they will be the present, with vehicles that will not only be electric, but will also have the characteristic of being able to fly for great distances on highways designed with special lights through the skies and buildings in the world. We will all have a helper at home made of technology to facilitate the work of the home and the education of our children, designed according to the needs of each one. Jobs will be increasingly remote and labor mobility will be better, making it easier for you to be hired anywhere in the world, as long as you have good computer equipment and a large capacity internet, that instead of being disadvantageous, will make it easier for information to travel at greater speed and immediacy
