This overview paper presents the findings of the Shared Task on Abusive Tamil and Malayalam Text Targeting Women on Social Media, organized as part of DravidianLangTech@NAACL 2025. The task aimed to encourage the development of robust systems to detectabusive content targeting women in Tamil and Malayalam, two low-resource Dravidian languages. Participants were provided with annotated datasets containing abusive and nonabusive text curated from YouTube comments. We present an overview of the approaches and analyse the results of the shared task submissions. We believe the findings presented in this paper will be useful to researchers working in Dravidian language technology.
