For over three decades, documentary photographer and activist Donna Ferrato has advocated for survivors of domestic abuse and women's rights by revealing the effects of domestic violence on abused women and their children. Photographing in emergency rooms, women's shelters, courtrooms, batterers' groups, women's detention centers, and while riding along with law enforcement, Ferrato aims to expose "the dark side of family life." More importantly, Ferrato's work has ignited decades of advocacy work for survivors of domestic abuse and women's rights that has helped to attract funding for domestic violence shelters nationwide and educated people on the warning signs of abuse, as well as the obstacles survivors face when trying to leave their abusers.
