Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion are being offered free accommodation by men exploiting a government refuge scheme in exchange for sex, according to a housing charity.
Positive Action in Housing, based in Glasgow, says it is receiving direct reports from young women who claim sponsors registered with the Homes for Ukraine scheme have contacted them offering 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.
