Abstract: Violence has existed in many forms in society whilst those against women and children have always been higher. The rate of occurrence of violence has been in an increasing trend over the last decade worldwide. The present study involves a detailed study on the impact of violence and the factors that contribute to violence. Situational analysis of the various forms of violence against women and children was studied in the state of Kerala, India. Several predominant factors across various levels of the socio-ecological model were identified and a conceptual model was developed using an interpretive structural modelling (ISM) approach. Matrice d'impacts croisés multiplication appliquée á un classment (MICMAC) plot revealed that the societal factors were the highly influencing ones. Individual-level factors placed themselves in the top-most level and as linkage variables. Suitable recommendations and implications based on the results of the conceptual model and the situation analysis are provided.
