Sexual harassment is a category of labor law, and sexual exploitation of a relationship of dependency meets the cri­teria for a crime. Legislation provides protection against such abuses by distinguishing them from each other, al­though distinguishing them based on specific behaviors is not always straightforward. The purpose of this study is to present an understanding of sexual harassment and the characteristics of sexual exploitation of a relationship of dependency, and to analyze them in light of the provisions of the Labor Code and the Penal Code, attempting to de­lineate the boundaries between them and capture their commonalities. It has a unique dimension, as this topic has not yet been subjected to in-depth research in legal literature.

Keywords: sexual harassment; sexual exploitation of a relationship of dependency; labor law; criminal law
