| Photojournalist, filmmaker and domestic violence activist An award-winning photojournalist and author of Living with the Enemy, for over twenty-two years Ferrato has devoted her life to documenting, exposing, and preventing the abuse of women and children by the ones they love. Ferrato is founder of the Domestic Abuse Awareness Project or DAAP, the nation's only visual archive on the subject of Domestic Violence. From the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence to magazines like LIFE, TIME arid US News and World Report opinion makers declare that her photographs have changed laws and consistently challenged ignorant attitudes promoted by society about violence against women and children. Her domestic violence documentation has appeared in every major magazine and, in television reports on domestic violence, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, OXYGEN, CBS' America Tonight, Good Morning America, Dateline, Eye on America, NBC Now, The Crusaders and Court TV. The Unbeaten Woman A visual journey in and out of violence in relationships Donna Ferrato's multimedia program, with slides and music, begins with images of relationships where respect is a cornerstone and love and caring provides a safe haven. She then takes you into the painful world of violence in relationships, where home is no longer safe, for a clearer understanding of how abuse affects all of our lives, of the injustices faced by victims, and how we can stand up to combat this tragedy. It is a program about women who have traveled from being victims of violence to becoming empowered to find peace and wholeness to thrive in life. |
