Ban stresses women's education, health

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged business leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to invest more in women's education and health. Such investments are "the right thing to do and the smart thing to do for national economies and global stability," Ban said at an event organized by the Every Woman Every Child, which seeks to mobilize action to save the lives of 16 million women and children and improve the lives of millions more.
