The Homes For Ukraine government scheme is being exploited by men offering free accommodation to refugees in return for sex, a Glasgow charity has claimed.
Chiefs at Positive Action in Housing said they are receiving direct reports from young Ukrainian women fleeing the war who claim registered sponsors have contacted them to offer them homes with an apparent expectation for sex.
It comes as 16 refugee and anti-trafficking organisations warned of the programme's insufficient safeguards to protect women and children in a letter to communities secretary Michael Gove.
