"Amnesty International has called on Iran to stop persecuting people who campaign for women's rights.
In a new report, Amnesty says women activists have suffered an "acute" backlash since the campaign was launched in August 2006.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has insisted women in his country are treated better than anywhere else.
The so-called Campaign for Equality aims to collect a million signatures for a petition to push for an end to discrimination against women.
But Amnesty says those involved in it have suffered harassment, intimidation and imprisonment. Dozens of women have been arrested."
This move by Amnesty International has brought persecution of women in Iran to an international level. The petition will become one of many events that will eventually create equality for all women in Iran.
