    abstract = "This study focuses on developing a solution for detecting abusive texts on social media against women in Tamil and Malayalam, two low-resource Dravidian languages in South India. As the usage of social media for communication and idea sharing has increased significantly, these platforms are being used to target and victimize women. Hence an automated solution becomes necessary to screen the huge volume of content generated. This work is part of the shared Task on Abusive Tamil and Malayalam Text targeting Women on Social MediaDravidianLangTech@NAACL 2025. The approach used to tackle this problem involves utilizing LLM based techniques for classifying abusive text. The Macro Average F1-Score for the Tamil BERT model was 0.76 securing the 11th position, while the Malayalam BERT model for Malayalam obtained a score of 0.30 and secured the 33rd rank. The proposed solution can be extended further to incorporate other regional languages as well based on similar techniques."
