The rooms are also equipped with facilities for them to<br>\nchange diapers and also for a brief rest.<\/p>\n<p>Mien inaugurated the mothers' room at Gambir, one of the city's<br>\nbusiest railway stations, but the ceremony was also held to launch<br>\nsimilar facilities at Citraland Mall shopping center and the<br>\nNational Development Planning Board (Bappenas) office.<\/p>\n<p>TH. Antonius, deputy director of PT Ciputra Development which<br>\nowns Citraland, said yesterday that the mall decided to open the<br>\nmothers' room in compliance with an appeal from the government<br>\nwhich has been campaigning to encourage mothers to breast-feed<br>\ntheir babies for as long as they can.<\/p>\n<p>\"We are happy to provide the room for mothers to feed their<br>\nbabies, it's for the convenience of shoppers, especially women who<br>\ncome with their babies,\" he said. \"We could've rented the room out,<br>\nbut we feel that we need to provide more public amenities.\"<\/p>\n<p>The 21-square meter mothers' room, located on the ground floor,<br>\nhas actually been open since November, and on average five mothers<br>\nuse the facility each day, according to a company announcement.<\/p>\n<p>The opening of the mothers' room at Citraland, Gambir and<br>\nBappenas follows the directives issued by Mien's office this year<br>\nabout the need to provide such a facility in public places and<br>\noffices. The directives came after Soeharto himself launched the<br>\nmovement to encourage mothers to breast-feed their babies in 1990.<\/p>\n<p>According to a circular issued by Mien early this year, there is<br>\nan increasing need for such a facility given that more and more<br>\nwomen are now opting for careers and because of the local culture<br>\nagainst women breast-feeding their babies in open public places.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Transportation has also ordered the managements<br>\nof the country's airports, railway stations and ports to support<br>\nthe campaign.
