UN advises not to house female refugees with single men

U.N. refugees: Make sure that single men don’t become hosts for Ukrainian women and children.

There are fears that refugees could be at risk and be exploited if they are placed with an unsuitable host through the Homes for Ukraine sponsorship scheme.

The UNHCR has called for “a more appropriate process” when matching sponsors and refugees.

The government said there were “robust security and background checks”.

People have said that the Homes for Ukraine programme started on March 18, but it has been slammed for being too complicated and taking too long to get visas.

As long as you live in the UK, you can apply to be a host on the scheme. You must be willing to give up your home for at least six months.

It’s true that the government doesn’t match refugees with hosts, but there have been reports that people are using social media to look for women and children who have fled the war.
