Social media abuse of women is a widespread problem, especially in regional languages like Tamil and Malayalam, where there are few tools for automated identification. The use of machine learning methods to detect abusive messages in several languages is examined in this work. An external dataset was used to train a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model for Tamil, which produced an F1 score of 0.6196. Using the given dataset, a Multinomial Naive Bayes (MNB) model was trained for Malayalam, obtaining an F1 score of 0.6484. Both models processed and analyzed textual input efficiently by using TF-IDF vectorization for feature extraction. This method shows the ability to solve the linguistic diversity and complexity of abusive language identification by utilizing language-specific datasets and customized algorithms. The results highlight how crucial it is to use focused machine learning techniques to make online spaces safer for women, especially when speaking minority languages.

Social media sites are becoming crucial sites for communication and interaction, yet they are increasingly being utilized to commit gender-based abuse, with horrific, harassing, and degrading comments targeted at women. This paper tries to solve the common issue of women being subjected to abusive language in two South Indian languages, Malayalam and Tamil. To find explicit abuse, implicit bias, preconceptions, and coded language, we were given a set of YouTube comments labeled Abusive and Non-Abusive. To solve this problem, we applied and compared different machine learning models, i.e., Support Vector Machines (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), and Naive Bayes classifiers, to classify comments into the given categories. The models were trained and validated using the given dataset to achieve the best performance with respect to accuracy and macro F1 score. The solutions proposed aim to make robust content moderation systems that can detect and prevent abusive language, ensuring safer online environments for women.
