- 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.

the best would be a future where both men and women are in power, equal to 50/50, because with the current government there are the same wars, and then they wouldn't have to be. I don't care if they pity the car or not, I just want peace and quiet.

A better future depends on cooperation between individuals, communities and governments who focus on sustainability, education and innovation. Investing in renewable energy sources, promoting equity and inclusion, and mental health care are key. Each of us has the power to contribute to positive change, whether through small steps or larger initiatives. Together, we can build a world that is fairer, healthier and full of opportunities. So it's kind of my point of view

Better and more accessible healthcare for everyone. By gout to restore diseased parts in both humans and animals and plants. Restoring the forest and increasing the diversity of species. Criminal liability since the age of 15. In congregation support for reading books and writing. Stricter hygiene checks on the quality of food and other products. Reduce working hours to 6 hours per day. Abolition of money as a means of payment.

Over the past 20 years, there has been a major revolution in clean energy production thanks to fusion reactors. Electricity is now available all over the world and, at the same time, the plundering of nature for coal mining has stopped. In 2035, the last dictatorships of the world, such as China, Russia or the DPRK, fell, and since then all the money that has been spent on the armaments industry can be invested in science, research, education, nature protection and help the socially weaker people. Thanks to education, people began to live healthier lives and unhealthy food naturally disappeared from shops. In domestic and international politics, it is already normal to respect a different opinion and discuss politely with your opponents, instead of quarrels and insults. The world has finally recovered and is also thinking about what will be after us and what planet we will leave to our descendants.
