Carnival is a unique moment in Brazil, where people forget their pains and feel freer - including towards their sexuality. So it is indeed a time where a more liberated sexual behavior is not condemned for men and women alike. However, it is also true that some revelers trespass the red signs and harass women as if it was “normal” and even if they say a clear “no”. Fortunately, this is not taken as acceptable anymore and there are campaigns to build awareness about the issue.
