• A girl shouts in protest on February 10, 2014, against a bus-fare increase in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Anti-government protests erupted across the country last June, hitting a peak as one million Brazilians took to streets on a single night, calling for better schools and health care, and questioning the billions spent to host this year’s World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. The protests have since diminished in size, but remain violent. Leo Correa / AP photo
