He brutalised her for years and when the police came, they charged her with violence. When he killed her, they let him get away with murder. Her name is Alicia Little. She was only 41. Alicia's mum Lee Little has dedicated almost every waking hour to changing the story for other women. It's been horrific knowing Alicia's killer is on dating apps and roaming the country, barely having suffered consequences for his actions. Lee and Alicia's best mate and sister-in-law Lauren speak about the joy she brought into their lives, the ongoing injustices they face and their determination to make the world a safer place for women. This episode discusses substance abuse, domestic violence and murder. It contains a graphic description of death and is not for children. This is Alicia's story.

This season of She Matters is supported by Verve Super, committed to women’s financial security and standing against violence in all its forms. She Matters is also proudly supported by Your One and Only and UNTMD Media.

Women in Australia retire with 23% less super than men — a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be complex, and many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a system not built with us in mind. That’s why Verve created a community for women, men and non-binary people who believe in closing the super gap.
