This morning, I came across a disturbing news story on Facebook called Who Failed Rehtaeah Parsons? The story covers the suicide of a young girl from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, whose name is in the title of the article.
What the article also mentions is that this young woman was also brutally raped by four boys, and that the case wasn't even discussed until 17 months after the atrocity occurred.
This is sad and sickening all at the same time. The answer to the question in the first article mentioned above, is that society as a whole failed not just her, but her family as well. This sort of victim blaming and slut shaming needs to stop. Otherwise, more women, more people will get hurt in senseless bullshit like this.
