Lets Join Forces to Rebuild a Woman's Dignity & Self Respect: Boundary Hunters' Angle & Impact Against Domestic Abuse - How it all came about.

Updated: Mar 26

In our society, the unfortunate reality of domestic abuse continues to plague the lives of many women. However, amidst this darkness, there are beacons of hope that exist. One such beacon is the rays of sunshine coming from Boundary Hunters, a coalition of strong women and men in Orange County California who wish to educate, protect and 'redraw' more appropriate personal boundaries on the way they would communicate with reformed perpetrators, shutting down and shutting out these perps if these boundaries are ever breached. Rather than teach or educate an abuser about how their conduct is wrong, we wish to start a movement where those doing the bullying get caught on camera being bullied themselves until they realize it was simulation to drive home its impact. We believe its a powerrful tool to reach those men who are willing to show true change. This is futher ernhanced through the introduction of SEN,


Learning and relearning effective communication skills, whether its taught in post incident court ordered Anger Management and in Batterers Treatment programs, is certainly the right way to go about rebuilding a relationship torn apart from verbal and physical abuse. But the statistics are frightening. A great deal of recidivism happens and often it escalates. People who are the instigators must learn or re-learn how to speak, talk and argue better with their significant others. Boundary Hunters doesn't just intervene to help victims of domestic or intra-household violence, but instead, like its name infers, they have turned the wheels on the perps and started stalking these men and women who are the perpetrators of the violence.



"We like to give them a first hand account of how it feels when someone is physically stronger and bigger than they are and begins to stalk them. We hunt them down. We confront them in what would otherwise be a benign situation, the perp often times doesn't even know whats going on but he is quickly overpowered and fearful, its at that point in time, much like Dateline or Candid Camera, we announce ourselves and then we see if our perp is willing to talk and be a part of our production. I am so grateful that I was selected by the men and women of Boundary Hunters to join the team! I was initially a client, and Boundary Hunters helped educate my husband on what he was actually doing. This is a perspective someone who is headstrong, has shown narcissistic tendencies, normally does not get because he or she may never been victimized, even though most bullies were victimized. I don't think he would have gotten, just by me, on how to feels to be threatened with bodily harm or intimidated", said Courtney S., a recent inductee into Boundary Hunters OC North Team. Aside from their made-for-tv script of chasing after and scaring perpetrators, Boundary Hunters is a nonprofit dedicated to helping victims and perps find solutions if re-integration is to safely happen. If your situation has caught our attention, we will do everything in our power to help protect, educate and help find solutions for you and your loved ones. Boundary Hunters maintains an active listing of available shelters in the areas where their members operate. There are plans on expanding operations but at the present time they offer access available to victims in the northwest parts of Orange County and the Westside of Los Angeles County. We are just getting started so if you like what we do, please donate generously. We are also hiring.


Boundary Hunters is the brainchild of Omar A Rizvi, a California lawyer who is currently suspended after resigning from the State Bar in 2001 after having suffered some of the most outrageous and egregious prosecutorial and judicial misconduct, he was accepted a plea under false pretenses, unaware of the consequences of taking that plea.

the judge, jury and executioners became surrounding an incident of domestic violence in 2001. I am not saying that my actions were right, but when I later found out of the major conflict of interest and the way my extremely well paid plea set-aside lawyers acquiesced and in fact aided in perpetrating one of the most incredible acts of suppressing exculpatory evidence, evidence that would have cleared him, I found out firsthand what it must feel like to live under oppression and racial bias. The conspiracy to suppress evidence withstood his initial attempts to appeal and the alleged charges were heinous enough to isolate me even in the eyes of family members. I experienced trauma that caused me to lose touch with reality and fairness, it led me to begin believing that i was powerless. *** Its actually an amazing reversal of fortune and I am pursuing several actions and an appeal, that isn't time barred due to the nature of the situation.


After it all went down the way that it did in 2006, with the plea bargain judge refusing to exonerate me even though I produced evidence of bias and a major conflict of interest, rather than rallying to support me, a murder of crows formed between the DA, the Judge and my two set aside lawyers created this conspiracy to suppress evidence that I hadn't heard about until 2010. By then, I had largely gave up and upped my addiction from being an alcoholic and an occasional coccaine "bump" so I could stay in control of the fun, to a full blown meth addict. The descent into full blown meth addiction didn't begin until 2016, when the perceived prejudice I would get for being labeled a convicted felon continued to impact me. By 2016, I had been in and out of at least 9 different addiction treatment centers, sober living group living homes. Later housing insecurity and getting fired from work after being at the job for 3 to 6 months was the way my live progressed. I had moved a total of 72 times between 1999 and 2019. roper way to behave with women, my mom was in an unhappy marriage and she often acted out", says Omar, now 58 and the Executive Director of the



United Alliance Foundation, the parent company and nonprofit that finances and operates Boundary Hunters, one of several of its wholly owned subsidiary programs.


"I grew up in Chicago, having arrived here from India". My parents met and married via an arranged marriage, my Dad asked for my Mom's hand in marriage by asking her mother and she refused. Not only did my grandma refuse, my mom really didn't have a say in the situation, so Dad decided to not bother with what they wanted and took the matter to my Grandmother who, subserviently approached her husband, my Grandfather, an Oxford University - England educated Court of Appeals Judge, who picked up the phone and called my Mom's dad, Dr A.H. Firdosi, an eye surgeon who also received his professional training at Oxford, and my two Granddads decided it would be a good marriage union. I learned that there was this aire of respect that the two Grand Dads demanded from their children, they were supposed to neither be seen nor heard, but talked about by way of their mother's intervention. It almost made me laugh when I heard of this but it definitely checks out, my Dad hardly acknowledged my brother and I, and my mom, well she really wasn't all there since as far back as I can remember.


Growing up as a first generation Asian Indian American wasn't easy in our house. This love-hate thing was going on between my parents about themselves and on whether they wanted to fully immerse into the American cultural melting pot. Things got worse when they both started drinking.

At the heart of our mission is the empowerment of women who have been subjected to verbal and mental abuse by their partners. These women, often dominated due to their smaller physical stature, find a safe haven and a source of support in Boundary Hunters. The organization offers a range of services aimed at providing aid and assistance to survivors of domestic violence. In cases where we feel a little reversal of stalker could be had via our Boundary Hunt, we form or Intervention Team and work with family members to carryout a safe and fruitful and sometimes exciting outcome to our hunt.

One of the key features of their website, boundaryhunters.com, is an early responder crew that swiftly attends to victims of domestic violence. Through their network of shelters, they provide a secure environment for those in need of refuge. Moreover, the website includes a donation page and a fundraiser page for those who wish to contribute to this noble cause. A particularly poignant section of the website is "our stories", where survivors bravely share their experiences, shedding light on the harsh reality of domestic abuse. This serves to raise awareness and garner support from concerned citizens. In addition, Boundary Hunters has partnered with the Sen App, further expanding their reach and impact in the fight against domestic violence.

To further support survivors, the organization seeks to collaborate with local businesses to offer discounted accommodations. This kind of community involvement is invaluable in providing practical assistance to those rebuilding their lives after experiencing abuse. The design of the website is envisioned to be impactful, featuring images of empowered women alongside a hotline advertisement urging those in need to reach out for help. With a simple call to 1-800-boundary, assistance is just a phone call away for those seeking refuge and support.

In a world where the voices of survivors often go unheard, Boundary Hunters stands as a powerful advocate for women who have endured abuse. Through their unwavering commitment and compassionate efforts, they shine a light of hope and empowerment for those who need it most.
