Rehtaeh Parsons’ father says more must be done

The father of Rehtaeh Parsons says there have been positive changes in the year since his daughter’s death, but more must be done to change the treatment of sexual assault victims in the justice system.

As dozens of people gathered in Halifax today to commemorate Rehtaeh’s life, her father said her story has sparked a global conversation about cyber-bullying. Parsons was taken off life-support following a suicide attempt last April that her family says was prompted by months of bullying.
