The fertility rate in the world has collapsed due to sexually transmitted diseases and environmental pollution. Hence, Gilead’s solution to this problem is keeping a large group of women, who have either been kidnapped or are being forced to stay there. The women are always dressed in a red robe and are called The Handmaids.

Their job is to have kids for the powerful commanders in Gilead, whose wives cannot bear any children. The Handmaids live in reduced circumstances, are forced to bear the children of the commanders. They are then passed from one commander to others for having their children and are sexually exploited by the Commanders and their wives. They are not allowed to read or write and are punished by the military for being homosexual or having an affair with anyone else.
