of social movements, labor federations and civil society groups of Brazil are holding national protests on Tuesday in opposition to the proposed pension reform. 

The protests are being held leading up to a crucial vote on the proposed pension reforms, which would scrap the average retirement age of 54, making it mandatory that women retire at 62 and men at 65.
