- 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.

All countries have enough fusion reactors, so there is no poverty, no pollution and no more wars. Infinitely available, clean energy means that everything can be produced, that seawater can be desalinated and deserts can be made to bloom. In addition, animal rights were enacted worldwide, analogous to human rights. It is now commonly pledging to eat animals or kill them for the purposes of man. This is only reported in history lessons.

Svět jak má být
I imagine a world with clean air and green cities. Technology makes our lives easier, but at the same time we care about harmony with nature. People treat each other with respect and respect. Education is accessible to everyone and encourages creativity. Travelling is easy and allows us to get to know different cultures. Healthcare is mature and accessible to all. Renewable energy is driving our world. Finally, art and culture flourish and enrich our lives.

Kurz vor der Pension meine Wünsche erfüllt!!!
I want to slowly end the last 10 years of my professional life and I am happy to see that my children can do what they love so that they will be different from their parents in the future. We have managed to be financially independent and enjoy our lives. Our children are now old enough to live their own lives and no longer depend on us. That's what I want!

Férová a flexibilní práce 2040
In 2040, I would like working conditions to be fairer and more respectful of work-life balance. A four-day work week without wage cuts would become standard, as technology and automation would allow for greater efficiency. Workers would have stronger protection – even those on agreements or in alternative forms of work would have the same rights as paid leave or sick leave. Fair wages would ensure that no profession is undervalued, especially in the care and health sectors. A hybrid model of work would allow for more flexibility for people to choose between working from home and working in the office. Companies would also pay more attention to the psychological well-being of employees, offer psychological support and prevent burnout syndrome. In such a future, work would not only be a necessity, but also a meaningful part of life.
