'Don't match female refugees with single men, UN says'

There've been a few articles in the Times about this - just awful
"Single British men offer beds to female refugees | News | The Times" www.thetimes.co.uk/article/single-british-men-offer-beds-to-female-refugees-d369hl6r7

I think there's going to be a sad sexual abuse scandal of women and children en masse thanks to this mess.

Putting the responsibility on private citizens is a safeguarding nightmare, and also sidesteps the government's own responsibility.

Of course predatory men will seek a loophole. This is Christmas to anyone with nefarious reasons to want access to vulnerable women and children.

Proper communities and facilities should be provided, not just hoping creepy men won't take advantage.

And furthermore this policy doesn't stop a coerced/trafficked/clueless woman offering her home and a man or men who know her to exploit that does it?

Fucking hell, exploiting refugees is the absolute depths of disgusting. We did all say on here ages ago that there needs to be special safeguarding for refugees being housed in private homes, but of course they only just seem to be considering this. I’m sure many more stories will emerge over time, unfortunately.

Women here said weeks ago that due attention must be paid to safeguarding.

UN doesn't help, of course, with their muddling contribution to the erasure of women.

The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, also known as UN Women, is a United Nations entity working for gender equality and the empowerment of women.

Has no one told the UN that NAMALT.

Interesting also how its assumed that a woman in the house somehow reduces the risk to said refugee.

That wife/girlfriend presumably has a job/life and will not be present 24/7. I dont see how being married makes the man.less of a risk to the refugee.

Nice indication of how women are nothing more than buffer zones
