By the end of 2015, the number of individuals who were forcibly displaced worldwide, as a result of persecution, conflict, generalized violence, or human rights violations has reached the record-breaking 65.3 million, increased 5.8 million from the previous year. On average, 34,000 people are being displaced per day (24 people minute). As the globalization has accelerated and became a norm of the day, rare metal, gems, oil and tropical hardwood melt into our society in the forms of mobile phones, fashion accessories, furniture, automobiles and electricity. Can we simply say that this global humanitarian crisis is the occurrence in far-away places which is difficult to comprehend, and we don't have any involvement?
