CTV Atlantic: March to honour Rehtaeh Parsons Around 200 people participated in a march to honour Rehtaeh Parsons and raise awareness of sexualized violence in Cole Harbour, N.S

Family and friends of Rehtaeh Parsons held a march Saturday to remember the young woman on the second anniversary of her death.

The walk began at 1 p.m., and was held to heighten awareness of sexualized violence.

Parsons died on April 7, 2013, after attempting to take her own life.

Parsons' family says the girl was 15 years old when she was sexually assaulted in November 2011 and bullied for months after a digital photo of the alleged assault was passed around her school.
