As sad as this may be, I believe it is Christmas Day.  The Christmas season overall is very stressful for many families, financially and emotionally.  The media and our own expectations portray the season as one of joy and happiness and togetherness and plenty for families, and of course, for many families it is not.  While emotional and family stress are not the only causes of domestic violence, they are certainly significant factors.\n\nI cannot back this up with research statistics, but I remember reading this in articles related to safe houses and family violence.

Domestic Homicides\n\nOn average, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in this country every day. In 2000, 1,247 women were killed by an intimate partner. The same year, 440 men were killed by an intimate partner. \nWomen are much more likely than men to be killed by an intimate partner. In 2000, intimate partner homicides accounted for 33.5 percent of the murders of women and less than four percent of the murders of men.\nPregnant and recently pregnant women are more likely to be victims of homicide than to die of any other cause , and evidence exists that a significant proportion of all female homicide victims are killed by their intimate partners. \nResearch suggests that injury related deaths, including homicide and suicide, account for approximately one-third of all maternal mortality cases, while medical reasons make up the rest. But, homicide is the leading cause of death overall for pregnant women, followed by cancer, acute and chronic respiratory conditions, motor vehicle collisions and drug overdose, peripartum and postpartum cardiomyopthy, and suicide.\n\nEstimates range from 960,000 incidents of violence against a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend per year1 to three million women who are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend per year

Tradition. No where is it stated in any law that it has be on a particular day, or that it has to occur every year. The Constitution only states: "He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union...".

Becoming independent of an abusive relationship, near the time of the county fair, and tying it in with Independence Day on the fourth of July.  I have the CD. using "independence day" as both the fourth of July and a metaphor for the day the abusive relationship ended.

In most places, until the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, 25 March (the date known as the Annunciation of Mary) was the first day of the new year. Eventually this was changed to 1 January (a date associated with the Circumcision of Christ). Some of the month names indicate their position relative to the March year beginning - September, October, November, and December are formed from root words meaning "seven", "eight", "nine", and "ten", respectively. When the first of the year was changed to January, they became the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th months, but kept their original names.

You don't AGREE WITH IT???  Do something about it!  I'm seriously shocked that you had to ask this question... I would move to protect ANY LIVING CREATURE whether I knew them or not.

I think there are a lot of domestic violence but few of them report to the police . It's no use to have someone acted as the middle man. It can only be solved by couples.

May Day is actually rooted in US history. On May 1, 1886, workers throughout the United States held major strikes for the eight-hour day.\nIn Chicago, these strikes culminated in the Haymarket massacre (May 4, 1886) and subsequent trial. The next day in Milwaukee was the Bay View Massacre.\nMay 1 was established to commemorate these two events and to remember the eight-hour day strikes.

http://www.glennsacks.com/4_feminists_myths.htm\n\nThis one looked pretty interesting.  I ran a Yahoo search under female initiated domestic violence, and got several bibliographies as well.  You may want to check them out.\n\nThe reality is that the majority of domestic violence against men by their female partners has been underreported until very recently.  Think about it.  If you were a guy, would you want the world to know that your wife beats you up?\n\nIt's also important to bear in mind, even though this question deals with domestic violence, that there are many other forms of abuse, such as mental and emotional abuse, that are more common among femal aggressors than male.  This also tips the stereotypical scales.
