Breaking Barriers: Women Bouncers Challenge Gender Norms in Kerala

Women in Kerala are breaking gender stereotypes by entering the traditionally male-dominated profession of bouncers. Anu Kunjumon, who once faced challenges as a female photographer, now thrives as a bouncer in celebrity events. Despite the lack of professional training, women bouncers are gaining recognition and demand in various events.

In the traditionally male-dominated security field, women in Kerala are redefining norms by stepping into the shoes of bouncers, a profession once predominantly occupied by men. Anu Kunjumon, a pioneer among her peers, confidently manages crowds at high-profile events, showcasing both mental and physical strength.

Although the bouncer profession is relatively new for women in Kerala, it is witnessing an increase in demand within the industry, driven by the adeptness and determination of women like Kunjumon. Despite limited professional training opportunities, these women excel, guided by their powerful will and resilience.

While the career_shift supplements their prior roles, as seen with Kunjumon transitioning from photography to security, fellow professionals call for more structured training programs to enhance their efficiency and ability to meet client demands effectively.
