Donna Ferrato (born 1949) is a photojournalist and activist known for her coverage of domestic violence and her documentation of the New York City neighborhood of Tribeca.

She has been a member of the executive board of directors for the W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund and was president and founder of the non-profit Domestic Abuse Awareness (501-c3).

Her father, Peter John Ferrato, was a vascular chest surgeon who met his wife, Ann O'Mally, while interning at Bellevue Hospital in New York City.

Ferrato parted ways with Bowen and began hitchhiking around Belgium and France, where she photographed baguette culture in Paris.

That night changed me forever, and also altered the direction of my work for the next ten years...I was now driven to reveal the unspeakable things that were happening behind closed doors.

[5] For the next decade, Ferrato travelled across the country photographing domestic violence, riding in police cars, sleeping in shelters, and staying in the homes of battered women.

"[6] Living With the Enemy went into four printings, and, alongside exhibitions and lectures around the world, sparked a national discussion on sexual violence and women's rights.

[7] In 2011, Ferrato launched the I Am Unbeatable campaign, which aims to expose, document, and raise awareness of domestic violence by creating an archive of stories, photographs, and video narratives.

Accompanied by Lisa; filmmaker Stacey Kabat; Lenore E. Walker, psychologist and author; Sue Ostoff, founder and director of the National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women; and her father and daughter, Ferrato urged Clinton to support the establishment of a think tank dedicated to sexual violence and domestic abuse.

[11] Alongside her work with domestic violence, Ferrato continued to photograph sex clubs, swingers' events, and other forms of sexual experimentation and lovemaking.
