\begin{abstract}
Feminist scholars have in the past upheld qualitative research methods
and rejected or argued for the modification of quantitative research
methods, but mixed methods are steadily becoming popular. While
developing Sustainable Development Goal 5 baseline indicators, this
study uses feminist critical discourse analysis to revisit claims
against quantitative approaches from the 2014 Kenya Demographic and
Health Survey (KDHS). The integrated results from the mixed methods
convergent design study show that the approach usefully triangulates the
findings. The 2014 KDHS, though suitable for showing trends and
prevalence rates, has instances of gender related bias, excludes
minorities, and invisibles violent acts against women and girls related
to public unrest. This article contributes to the promotion of mixed
methods for feminist research.

This study uses as secondary sources the 2014 Kenya Demographic and
Health Survey report and data which are available on www.dhsprogram.com.%
