Yousuf first served in the cabinet of the Maldives as the Minister of Youth and Sports.[1] Appointed Minister of Women's Affairs and Social Welfare in 1997, she remained in the position until 2002.[2] In that year she attempted to open up discussion in the Maldives on the subject of domestic violence, but was unsuccessful.[3] In the same year she was appointed High Commissioner of the Maldives to Sri Lanka,[4] becoming the first woman to reach such a high rank in the Maldivian diplomatic corps.[5] Yousuf was reappointed to the cabinet in 2008 by Maumoon Abdul Gayoom,[6] a move that was not without controversy and which was described in some circles as nepotism.[7] In 2011 she became Dhivehi Dhaulathuge Minister, holding that position until 2013.[2] She is a member of the Progressive Party of Maldives.[8] In 2008 she received an award from the Maldivian government for her work in the field of women's issues over the previous quarter-century.[9]
