Autorenporträt
Corinne Dufka grew up in the Utah and California, and attended university in the San Francisco Bay area, earning bachelor and master’s degrees in social work. Dufka worked as a psychiatric social worker in San Francisco before moving to El Salvador in 1986 where she began taking pictures to illustrate the work of the Lutheran Church, for whom she was working.  She launched her photojournalism career at age 30 and went on to cover over a dozen armed conflicts in Central America, Bosnia, and Africa. At the top of her game and having been honored with the Robert Capa Gold Medal Award, a World Press Photo Award for spot news, the International Women’s Media Foundation’s Courage in Journalism Award, and a Pulitzer finalist citation, she left Reuters, and photojournalism, to join Human Rights Watch as a researcher and advocate. She worked with HRW for over 20 years, most of it whilst based in Africa, during which she documented and exposed war crimes perpetrated by armed groups in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and Cote d’Ivoire among others. While at HRW, she was awarded the MacArthur Fellowship Award for her work. Dufka now resides in Maryland.
