This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the state of parent–child dialogue on menstruation in the municipality of Dangbo. Interviews were conducted with 115 adolescent female students aged 12 to 22 years and 29 parents. The findings revealed that some parents engage very little in discussions related to menstruation with their children, both prior to menarche and during menstruation. These results suggest the need to strengthen parents’ capacities in menstrual management and to establish a periodic communication program to promote behavioral change among adolescent girls in Benin, encouraging them to engage in dialogue.
