The "New Deal" concept is a community pact based on a moral commitment between girls' clubs and parents to a "zero pregnancy" goal within the "girls' clubs. It is a commitment by parents not to marry off their daughters before the age of 18, with the girls in turn swearing not to become pregnant before marriage. This innovative initiative aims to reduce the vulnerability of young girls through the fight against early marriage and pregnancy, female genital mutilation (FGM) and the promotion of the use of sexual and reproductive health services.
