Men offering Ukrainian women fleeing war a place to stay in return for sex, charity warns

Men are offering Ukrainian refugee women a place to stay in return for sex, a charity has warned. The housing charity claims the official Homes For Ukraine government scheme has become an opportunity for men to exploit women for sexual gratification.

Positive Action in Housing claimed to have received direct reports from Ukrainian women who say men registered for the scheme are contacting them to offer a home in return for sex. The Glasgow-based charity stated that one man contacted a young Ukrainian woman who was looking for information on the government scheme on social media and was asked to send photos of herself.

He allegedly wrote: “There are some people who are interested in coming to my house. So I need to make a decision. I am a doctor and live alone in a big house.” She claims he sent pictures of himself sitting in first class on a plane, a sports car, and rooms in a luxury house as well as a hot tub.
