Shae Invidiata is the founder of Free-Them, an organization opposing human trafficking through advocacy and awareness raising.[1] She is also a social documentary photographer and focuses her photography on Second-World and Third-World countries.[2] She is from Oakville, Ontario, Canada.[3] Her fight against human trafficking in Canada began in 2002.[4] She founded Free-Them in January 2010.[5] In September 2011, Invidiata attended Toronto's second annual Freedom Walk. At this event aimed at raising awareness about human trafficking nationally and internationally, Invidiata was joined by such other abolitionists as Natasha Falle, founder of Sex Trade 101; Trisha Baptie, co-founder of EVE; Tara Teng, who was Miss Canada at the time; Timea Nagy, a former sex trafficking victim; Constable Lepa Jankovic; MP Joy Smith; MP Olivia Chow; and MP Terence Young.[6] In 2011, Chatelaine named Invidiata one of Canada's 29 Women of the Year for her activism.[7] More specifically, she was named one of the "Hot 20 Under 30" for being a member of "the next generation of leaders in" her field.[8] That year, she estimated that there were 27 million human trafficking victims worldwide.[9] She attempted to partner with the Halton Regional Police Service in hosting awareness campaigns at schools in the Regional Municipality of Halton.[10]
