The UN and The Handmaid's Tale: Where Fiction Meets Reality
The UN and The Handmaid's Tale has formed a creative alliance, with the UN involved in informing the award-winning series on the topics showcased in the series.
To coincide with Season 4 of The Handmaid's Tale, the UN created a series of blogs that explore the realities behind the storylines including the refugee journey, sexual servitude, international justice, trauma, resilience, and recovery. UN experts with experience working on the frontlines of these issues consulted with the show's producers, Directors, actors, and production team, to help ground the show’s storylines in the lives of real people and experiences.
