Despite being busy launching her singer career and starring in Hollywood films such as Good Will Hunting and The Phantom of the Opera, Minnie Driver has still made time to support Oxfam's work.

In February 2004 she travelled to Thailand and Cambodia for Oxfam's Make Trade Fair campaign to visit poor female workers and see the conditions they were working in.

Minnie also performed at the Make Trade Fair Live concert in September 2004, joining with other stars such as Razorlight, Jamelia, Chris Martin and R.E.M. to speak out about unfair trade rules.

"The poorest people with the least are making the sacrifices for those of us who have the most. I'm not a global economist but you just need some humanity to understand that this isn't fair."
