- 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.

nature and mental health
the world shouldn’t be focusing on technology, nature should be given more attention, protecting our planet because we really ruined almost everything maybe there is no going back maybe the end is near so why shouldn’t we enjoy nature and natural things in the time thats left for us, also mental health and psychology should be more important

I would like to see in the future how the state is finally helping citizens in our Czech Republic and does not raise its salary and food every year. I would like the Czech government to finally help people, not just themselves, to get the same pay as ordinary people, to try what it's like to work for 30 thousand gross napal to feed the family-rent and themselves.

Un jour peut-être..
2040, I come to the end of my life. The years have passed since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. European leaders did not have enough guts to help this , country, they made too many concessions to a dictator. However, in 2019 during a trip, I found Russia, let’s say its magnificent monuments, its interpreters ready to do anything to satisfy me, in compliance of course with the dictatorial laws of that country. They were easy to see that we were being watched. Today, Ukraine has become a dismantled land, occupied by foreign armed forces to ensure its security. But, this masquerade will not hold back a new attack, of Putin, still at the head of the country, very old, but always virulent. President Trump, so-called united states, has made a pact. In France, for my part, we live in safety. My children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren may not know her for good, unless one day the leaders of all countries take charge, become adults, stop fighting over land and natural resources. Like the children's round, hold hands and finally offer them a better world, Where there is universal peace with respect for all and they finally protect nature.

In 2040, I imagine a world where technology serves people without harming the environment. I would like to see a more environmentally friendly diorva where electric and hydrogen cars are completely replaced by internal combustion engines.
