Shirly Pinto (Hebrew: שירלי פינטו; born 15 March 1989) is an Israeli Deaf social-political activist, who served as Member of Knesset for National Unity.

[2] Pinto attended the Carmel Zvulun Regional High School in Kibbutz Yagur,[3] electing to study graphic design and social science.

In 2014 she interned for Member of Knesset Karin Elharar, handling legislation, public appeals and drafting policies to aid people with disabilities.

In May 2015, Pinto initiated an Israeli delegation to India, for assistance and legal-educational counselling to deaf children and youth in Indore.

In this campaign, she led an awareness week of the Deaf people,[9][10] under the slogan "I sign, I am whole" (a Hebrew word play).

[13] Later that year, in cooperation with the Ruderman Family Foundation, Pinto arranged a meeting with Academy Award winning actress Marlee Matlin with the community of the Deaf and hard of hearing people in Israel.

At the beginning of October 2017, Pinto turned to the welfare minister Haim Katz and asked him that during the intermediate days of Sukkot and Passover, the telephone relay service should be operated by the Institute for the Advancement of the Deaf.

At the beginning of December 2017, Katz replied to Pinto that her request had been received and that the service would be operated on the basis of a shortened working day.

[23] On 3 January 2018, Pinto, a State Control Committee in the Knesset headed by Shelly Yachimovich, said that 45 hours of translation per year is not enough for Deaf Holocaust survivors, who need to get to hospitals and doctors younger.

[27][28] Pinto announced on 3 August 2022 that she would not join Zionist Spirit (a merger of Yamina and Derekh Eretz) ahead of the 2022 Israeli legislative election.

[30] Pinto lives in Ramat Gan and is married to Michael Kadosh, a player in the Israeli Futsal national team and an employee as an engineer in telecommunications in Israel.
