The red appears frequently in the following part and I think the meaning of it must be important in the book. Red represents a special kind of women at that time. In other words, it is the symbol of those people who still have ability to pregnant. In the book, the narrator says they are not regarded as human, the role they have are only tools for men.
I notice that there is an activity, which is called Ceremony. From my point of view, this Ceremony is the reason why they have handmaids in Commander’s home. There is no love between people; only the responsibility of delivering babies ties them together.
