She was appointed Minister for the Promotion of Women, Children and the Family in the cabinet of Cissé Mariam Kaïdama Sidibé on 16 February 2012.
Touré has since campaigned for democratic reforms in the country, opposing changes to the constitution which would have increased the powers of the president.
Touré has advised the government on technical matters relating to poverty, malnutrition, contraception and female genital mutilation.
[1][2] She served in the role for only 34 days, being relieved of the position on 22 March as a result of the 2012 Malian coup d'état.
[2][3] She said this would have increased the powers of the president, established an expensive upper house of parliament and diverted funds from women's causes.
