Why did Minnie Driver quit as Oxfam ambassador?
It was revealed on February 13, 2018 Minnie has quit her role as Oxfam celebrity ambassador amid the sex scandal.
Minnie expressed concern, following allegations that Oxfam workers used prostitutes while working in Haiti in the aftermath of a humanitarian crisis.
Minnie, who has supported the charity over the past two decades, said in a statement: “I am nothing short of horrified by the allegations against Oxfam International.
“In no uncertain terms do I plan to continue my support of this organization or its leaders.
"And though it is unfortunate that after 20 years I am no longer able to advocate and defend through this specific framework, social and economic injustice is more globally prevalent than ever.
"I certainly will not let the abhorrent mistakes of a troubling organization stop me or anyone else from working with good people in this space to support a population of human beings around the world that needs our help.”
