A reveller celebrates during the street carnival parade of the “Bloco das Carmelitas” at the Santa Teresa neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on February 9, 2018. Although much less known abroad than the colorful, organized parades at the Sambodromo, the “blocos” are an equally important part of the carnival that turns Rio into the world’s biggest party before the start of the Catholic period of Lent. / AFP PHOTO / MAURO PIMENTEL BRAZIL-RIO-CARNIVAL-STREET-BLOCO DAS CARMELITAS

Revellers at a street party are given temporary tattoos which read “Nao e Nao” or “No Means No” at a street party during carnival season in Rio de Janeiro on February 7, 2018. Brazilian activists have taken to using tattoos and visual slogans to raise awareness about sexual harassment during carnival. Often, consumption of alcohol and revealing outfits worn by women are used as an excuse by sexual predators during this world-famous festive event. / AFP PHOTO / CARL DE SOUZA BRAZIL-CARNIVAL-SEXUAL-HARRASSMENT-CAMPAIGN-METOO
