Violence against women is a pervasive and severe issue that affects millions worldwide. It encompasses a range of abusive behaviors, including physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse. The research aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge and attitudes toward various forms of violence, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. A stratified random sampling method ensured diverse representation in terms of gender, age, and educational background. A structured survey was administered via Google form to a sample of 100 students across various disciplines in Tamil Nadu. The college students were directly connected to the Google platform. Therefore the present web survey study does not require approval by ethical committee. The final data based was downloaded as a Microsoft excel sheet. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS software to summarize the levels of awareness among the students. The findings revealed female students demonstrated higher awareness levels compared to their male counterparts. Despite high awareness of physical and sexual violence, many students underestimated the prevalence and impact of non-physical forms of abuse. The research underscored the need for comprehensive educational programs that address all dimensions of violence against women, aiming to foster a more informed and proactive student body in combating this critical issue
