Women Protest Against Surrogacy In Madrid Dressed As The Handmaid's Tale Characters
On September 9, 2025, hundreds of women march silently through the streets of Madrid, Spain, dressed in the iconic costumes from The Handmaid's Tale, to denounce surrogacy and demand its prohibition. The protest, organized by over 30 feminist organizations, winds through the city center, eventually reaching the Congress of Deputies, where it is highlighted that nearly 4,000 babies have been acquired in Spain through surrogacy contracts since 2010.
